Hi all, I had surgery end of June 21 for early breast cancer, I was very lucky it had not spread to my lymph nodes and only needed radiotherapy I am on Letrazole for 5 years. My first 12mth scan all clear. For the last 2 days I am Suddenly very tender painful over scar/radiotherapy site. Is this normal as I had been relatively pain free in that area or should I see my GP?
I would go to your GP anyway to get checked out, but I get pain if I sleep on my breast which I tend to do more and more as I recover. My surgery was Feb 2021.
