- Thank you. All checked out and just neurofen. Settled down today.
- Hi @Suwal - cellulitis is a risk from breast surgery and radiotherapy so getting it checked is a good idea. I had cellulitis and was treated with a course of antibiotics which cleared it up quickly.Make sure both your GP and radiotherapy oncologist know about the situation.
- All the best @Suwal ... I hope you get it sorted. Have you mentioned it to your Rads people? Xx
- Welcome. It's not something I've heard of, so if you didn't already have an appointment, I'd be suggesting you make one. Please let us know what the doctor says
Take care
