Radiotherapy late effects

Hi, I struggle with this and sorry to hear you are too.  I was diagnosed with lymphoedema, and I was referred to the late effects clinic where they gave me some massage techniques to have lymphatic drainage.  You might ask your medical team if this is an option for you. Best wishes 

Thank you so much for your message, I have always been reluctant to contact the BCN in case they felt I was bothering them but think I will try and speak to them.  Thanks so much x

I finished radio treatment in end January, little aches pains and twitches but it was only since end march been lot pain, redness  lympho and doctor thinks fibrosis on scar ,was given antibiotics from doctor, has slightly reduced swelling and redness but hurts and is difficult to do things such as hoover or anything that uses muscles in arm underarm and chest, I do have fybromyalgia so poss that could be making worse . I guess I should go see BCN but its so far to travel for me , It could just be late onset reaction from radiotherapy../?

Thank you so much for your message and sorry to hear about your discomfort.  Hoping it eases for you soon 

Finished rads a year ago. Still have pain & tenderness!

Sorry to hear that you are still suffering  Thank you for your message.
