So I’ve been doing well after my 15 sessions of radiotherapy and 4 boosters,but over past two days my left breast feels like a rock and when I try and turn in bed it’s soo painful.During the day it still is hard and very tingly

  • Hi, sorry to hear that. Were you given a number to call if you had any problems or concerns post radiotherapy?  If so, it may be worth getting in touch with them or your Breast Care Team. I didn't have the same as you, but did contact them re other issues. I have also found chatting to the nurses on here very reassuring too. Wishing you all the best. 

  • Hi. Sorry to hear you are in a lot of pain. Radiotherapy can damage the nerve endings, which can cause a tingling sensation. As Hilfe says, did they give you a number to call?  If so I’d give them a ring, or talk to your BCN. Don't suffer in silence, they'll be happy to help and reassure you. Best wishes
