Radiotherapy side effects?

Hi Jennywren

Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you needed treatment for breast cancer. I’d advice you to contact your breast care nurse and describe your symptoms to them and they should be able to help you.

Best wishes

Hi Jennywren, sorry to hear you ve been in pain and your breast is swollen. I had lumpectomy and some of my lymph nodes removed in October, then  radiotherapy end of December. The area is still sensitive and a bit painful to touch. Was advised that it takes time to fully recover. 
As Daisy53 suggested, you should contact your breast care nurse for help. I hope you get the help you need very soon x

Thanks cupcake 06, hope yours feels better soon too.  I was feeling fine following my treatment so was a bit concerned that it had started aching and swelling, but will have a chat with the breast care nurse xx

Thanks La Belle my arm pit and breast has only recently started to ache and swell, so was a little concerned, but planning to contact the breast care nurse for advice. Hope you feel less sore soon too xx
