I had surgery on the 7th May and finished radiotherapy on the 19th July. I get a fair bit of breast pain and my left breast feels very warm all the time had it checked a couple of months ago and the found a 1cm Seroma in the tumour cavity and said that and after effects of radiation and surgery are the cause. Has anyone else had this problem, Sending everyone hugs and best wishes

Hi, you might want to get it checked out with your nurse or oncologist. I was advised to watch out for infection, and one of the symptoms of this can be a warmer area. I also have a seroma, now only 2cm, and I have been told this can take eels to resolve itself. Wishing you all the best
Hi I had surgery in June and finished radiotherapy in September about 3 weeks ago I felt unwell with a fever and a very hot and red breast I was told I had mastitis (I thought only breastfeeding women got this) I had a week of antibiotics and it sorted it out. Saw my surgeon today for a follow up and she said it can happen especially after radiotherapy and if you’ve had your nodes removed.
