Radiotherapy- engorged and sore
hi ladies, I’m having RT in Singapore, it’s a holiday today and Monday so doctors not working and no RT today to ask.
I’ve completed 4/18 sessions, period due within the week. The targeted breast for RT is slightly engorged and generally sore and uncomfortable. I switched from a crop top to a closer fitting wireless bra which has helped a little.
My radiation oncologist said this would be a side effect, the nurses said it’s just my period. I’m ok with that, but wondering if there is anything I can do to help or ease the discomfort?
Thanks everyone xx
