I still,get odd stabbing pain every so,often in my lumpectomy breast , and tissue is a little painful still 16 months post surgery and radiation . -seems to be a fairly normal occurence post radiation fibrosis and scar tissue . Having said that ,   If you’re concerned you should check in with GP just in case it’s a sign of,something more,serious 

we have access on Sunshine Coast to a great Breast Cancer physio, and she posts numerous free,info video on breast cancer topics which may help you 

Thanks for the link, sounds good😀

Hi!
I was diagnosed with early breast cancer 11years ago, and went onto have a lumpectomy, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy.  I recently had my yearly scans, and all came back okay. YAY!  I still get daily pain in the affected breast where the cancer was, is this a situation that others get, is it a common long term side effect?  I don't see my oncologist any more, but maybe I should arrange a check in, or at least speak with my GP? Wondering what others experience.
Hugs to all😀
