arpie what a blessing this site is and thank you kindly for the information and response you provided. I listened to my first BCNA podcast yesterday which lead me here.

I will connect with my cancer nurse and ask all ?'s on treatment to help support the nipple ache.
Thank you for sharing your story, I am sorry yourself and so many women have to go through such experiences. Breast cancer has touched too many people 😢
I will say I am a little hesitant about radiation and tablets but will of course be lead by the experts. Lots to learn and research! I am so grateful to have a tribe of women to support me through. Blessings xx
Terrific, motton xx If you notice ANYTHING that concerns you, put it past your team xx. DON'T sit there & worry about it!
Personally, I found the radiation to be the easiest of all my treatments & stuff .... it is to 'mop up' any 'randoms' that may not have been captured in the surgery removal. I became quite attached to my Rads team, having seen them daily (Mon-Fri) for a month .. and was quite emotional on my final 'session'!
Re the Tabs .... don't get ahead of yourself & start worrying about them - stay in the 'present' & deal with what's going on now! All going well, you'll be one of the lucky ones with no side effects ..... and if you DO get any side effects, we can help you minimise them xx
Take care - make sure you listen to Charlotte Tottman!! She is brilliant. 😀
