Hi I had lumpectomy 4 July and was surprised that I had no pain for first 2 weeks but it became more tender as swelling went down.
9 radiotherapy beginning September and again no pain until now. I can’t say it’s sore more tender and uncomfortable like I’m aware of it all the time. Was told it’s healing process and nerves coming back together.
my friend still has this a year after surgery/radiotherapy.
i find it’s worse after wearing a bra, I must have bought 8 different ones but really None of them really comfy, much better when I don’t wear one
