Hi
just finished radiotherapy about a week ago and my left breast area is not too bad slight soreness but manageable. Ive had an itch on my back and when I felt today it has a little lump like a spot. Used a mirror to look at it and it’s actually under a tattoo I had done about 20 years ago. What’s worrying me is that it’s on the left hand side same as my cancer.
Anyone heard of or experienced this before?
Hi Csf. I think this is from the radiotherapy. You had radiotherapy on your left breast and the oncologist told me that the rays go right through the body and out the other side. So I would think it is from that but if you are concerned it is best to get it checked out by your breast care nurse. Good luck.
