Welcome. I was advised to use 1% hydrocortisone for the itch as it does help as well as ordinary moisturiser. takes the edge off x

Thanks for sharing Wills. Feel free to read my profile for my story so far.

It makes all the difference when you have great support mechanisms in place, like family, friends and work, as well as your clinical teams. 

Welcome to the forum and wishing you all the best.

Thanks for your reply. Because I am on blood thinners I don't think I can use hydrocortisone, but chest wall itch gone just lumpy it's the one under my breast now that's giving me the itch. 

Just for your info my soreness / I itchy u der  my breasts became thrush , so I had to use canestan 

I’m quite big boobed  so a sweaty area, hadn’t had it before , so something for ladies to think aboutI was using barrier cream - wrong - cured it within a few days 

I use an antihistamine prescribed for my rash and itch - that works too 

Hi Brainybunch, I am in Glasgow had surgery at Gartnavel Hospital in 4th November, radiotherapy at beatson. I did not get result from PCR Test until morning of surgery, my pre-op was the week before surgery.  My lymph nodes were clear and I didn't get taken down until about 12 noon long morning waiting but was back home after 6pm. When I was recalled they said lump was 0.8mm but consultant said it was more like 2cm.
