Breast discolouration

Hi Phyllis A 

The breast does change after radiotherapy.  I've not personally had discolouration, but the best thing is that you've had a biopsy, so you will know from that if it's anything.  Hopefully not!

I'm answering your post to ensure it's back on page one as you'd slipped to page 2 - with any luck someone else will be around that has a similar experience now.

Kindest wishes, Lesley

Thankyou .

Hello,

hope you don’t mind me asking but what did the discolouring look like , I’m 3 years post radiotherapy and have noticed my breast looks yellow. Was about to ask on here when I saw your post.

thanks Sonia.

Hi Sonia ,

it’s a large area of red/ pink / almost purple skin . I’ve had a couple of seperate bruises appear as well since I saw the consultant a week ago .

my husband and I keep thinking it’s clearing a little but then worry that we’re imagining it because of fear of something serious .

i know that Radiotherapy can cause skin to change colour sometimes permanently  but mine looks  like done dirt if réaction and literally appeared overnight .

I think if you’re worried you should ask for advice from your breast consultant 

I meant to write some sort of reaction
