I caught a cold and got the usual cough to go with it ten weeks after my last radiotherapy treatment.

I now have what feels just like a pulled chest muscle where the radiotherapy beam went and the skin around my chest is highly sensitive to the touch.

Has anyone else suffered this sensation. I don't want to be jumping to conclusions just because I have incurable small cell cancer which is aggressive.

Thank you all for being there

It is probably the internal scar tissue and sensitivity from the radiotherapy. Please remember that radiotherapy continues to treat the are for a number of weeks after the last session.

Have you been told that your SCLC is incurable?

Oh thank you so much for the prompt reply. Yes I have been told it's incurable and will keep returning. The Oncologist said if I am lucky it won't return for 12 months.

I am so grateful to you for that reply scar tissue never even occurred to me talk about ignorance!!!!!
