Hi @Maximoula glad you have found our Online Network and hope you are finding it helpful.
Have you had a chat to your radiation oncologist, surgeon or your breast care nurse about your painful lump? We would encourage you to raise any concerns with your treating team. In the meantime you are welcome to refer to the My Journey articles below, which touches on recovery and side effects:1
