Hi Fiona_C22 sorry to hear this, the side effects can seem never ending some times. I've not come across this before, but I’d encourage you to talk to your medical team to get their views on the radiotherapy. Best wishes
Aww thanks for getting back to me I have told them oncology said we expect you to put at least a stone and maybe you have scaring from chemo it still worries me thou x
