Hi has anyone suffered any sinus problems or sore throat etc after having radiotherapy?

  • Hi

    You will not get sinus problems from having breast radiotherapy 

    If you had the internal mammary nodes treated during your breast radiotherapy there may be some irritation to your oesophagus and also some difficulty in swallowing.

    Radiotherapy only affects the area which is in the treatment field.

    Hope this helps
