Hey just checking if anyone struggles with an itchy breast. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2022 had a lumpectomy on both breasts and radiation and is now taking Tamoxifen.
For the past few weeks my left breast behind the nipple has been itching daily there is no lumps or no change of the breast… I am not to sure if it’s hormonal due to Tamoxifen….any advice would be appreciated

Hi Poppy01

I don't have any experience of this to offer but I do think it would be a good idea to have a chat with your doctor about it. X

i had a lumpectomy last year and have had occasional itchy breast. I am hoping that it is dry skin from the anastrozole that I am taking. I see my oncologist next week and will mention to her. I am paranoid about everything at the moment. Hopefully your BCN can help. Always good to get advice x

Just ask...itching was how I got my diagnosis in the first place even though it's not, in it's self, supposed to be a sign of cancer. But it was taken seriously and here I am.
