At last, a solution to the agony of late effects of radiotherapy last year.
I had lumpectomy July 2025, radiotherapy September 2025 and sailed through it all, a bit of fatigue, but nothing I couldn’t cope with. Until February 2026, swollen, lumpy, hot boob. Initially not sore but uncomfortable, then it became sore. Mostly due to the swelling but was really getting me down.
I did go to hospital, had examination and ultra sound and all good except for severe scar tissue caused by radiotherapy. Rub boob with ibuprofen gel 2/3 times a day, swelling reduced drastically after about 2 weeks. Use lots of moisturiser, kind of kneading your breast like you would bread. What a relief!! Swelling down, hotness down, lumps appear to have moved about and boob looks and feels much better.
I would always say to get boob checked first but hopefully this will help anyone who has the same problems.
