Hi,

I finished treatment a couple of months ago (mastectomy, chemo and radio) after I finished radiotherapy I had a few weeks where I found it difficult to breathe. I was sent to A&E where they did tests, an ECG and an xray but found no cause. The radiotherapy nurse told me it wasn’t a side effect but after researching online and reading the macmillan advice book it mentions fibrosis as a side effect. I have since had to cough up a sort of flegm most mornings and this evening have found a small amount of blood in the mucus stuff (sorry for being gross) Has anyone else suffered from this as I’ve asked different nurses and my oncologist and had no direction

Thank you
