I have just finished 20 days of breast radiation and under my breast I have lost a huge amount of skin and it is painful. I have very large breasts. Any suggestions.

    I am So sorry you've got this loss of skin @slonimski - I can only imagine how painful it would be.

    I would suggest you contact your Radiology/Cancer Dept first thing tomorrow and ask to be seen urgently, as you sure don't want to get an infection.  If you aren't able to see them .... try your GP (or try them first) or as a last resort, go to your local hospital Emergency dept.  xx

    I hope you can get seen first thing tomorrow.  

    take care & all the best xx

    Make sure you keep on top of it - you don't want it to become a bad infection :( xx

    Did your radiology Dept help at all with information?  If not, go to your GP & if it looks nasty/weeping ... and if you get a temperature, go straight to your local Emergency Dept & say you are on Cancer treatment ..... xx
