Hello ValU sorry to hear of your pain sounds a little like myself I too had a lumpectomy and around my nipple is sore just wear something soft on your skin like an old singlet and pile the sorbelene cream on leave it in the fridge and it is comforting , also do not wear a bra!!!! I find that helpful. But stick with the pain as I do I have two more weeks of radiotherapy before Christmas and then finish it thank goodness dont use anything else but sorbelene I have been told it is the best unless you do talk to your nurses at the hospital good luck and keep smiling through your journey and that goes to all ladies xx
