Just over six months ago I had lumpectomy on the left and right sides plus lymph gland removal. That was followed by radiotherapy, a zometa infusion and letrozole

I expected pain and discomfort but I hadn’t anticipated it would last so long. The pain is slightly different from the immediate post op discomfort. I have tenderness and what feels like bruising with occasional sharp pains.

Have any of you experienced that please?

Hi, I'm 7 months post lumpectomy and SNB.

I would get it checked for edema ( lymphoedema of the breast). I have had it.

Also, radiotherapy pains can continue for years . I had a few stabbing pains yesterday . It's the gift that gives for years

:(.

Contact your BCN to get it checked x

Thanks.

ironically I had no pain/discomfort during or immediately after the radiotherapy.

I have a telephone appointment with my oncologist later this week so I’ll speak to him about it.

i hope your pain disappears soon.
good luck
