Evening im 6 weeks post radiotherapy still experiencing sharps pain in nreast and sore is this normal
Hi Fiat
I have triple negative breast cancer and had radiotherapy and am one of the Community Champions. I am sorry you are experiencing pain and soreness 6 weeks after radiotherapy. I had a large burn that came out and peeled several times, like bad sunburn, and that started about 6 weeks after treatment. I also had oedema (fluid) problems for a couple of years. The surgery you will have had also will have damaged nerves. I am not sure what normal is as we all seem to get different side effects at different times. The best advice is always to give your team a call. I was given a number to call for late radiotherapy effects but if you don’t have that you could contact your breast care nurse v
