Hi I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer last may and had WLE X2 and radiotherapy now on leterozole. Also diagnosed with melanoma in June 2022 . I have notice effected breast is warmer than the other. Has anyone else this ?
Hello Alip
I am sorry to see that you had both breast cancer and melanoma last year.
I have had a look around the site and forum and can not really find any information to explain why one breast is feeling warmer than the other.
I wonder if it is an side effect of the radiotherapy?
I wonder if it might be worth contacting your CNS or Breast clinic and mentioning it?
The other thing perhaps to try is the Ask a Nurse section on here as they have the medical knowledge.
I will pop a link on in case you would like to contact them.
