Signs and symptoms

Thanks @adean I gather from my oncologist yesterday it’s a side effect likely to be around for sometime to come just didn’t expect it to start up months after radiotherapy stopped. Btw have found something that helped yesterday- an Aah bra - first time I have been comfortable since my op in March

Hi l still have post radio side affects 5 years on. My breast is sore to touch and l have developed arthritis in the breast bone. Onco assured me quite normal everyone affected differently.

Saw my surgeon - am ok is one of the ongoing Post radiotherapy side effects and will last some time. Have not found much in either pamphlets provided by radiotherapy clinic or even BCNA kit about post treatment ongoing side effects . He did say when in doubt see a doctor.

Oh ok yer ill call tomorrow and all the best with tomorrow romia

That’s what I did @Nannatash rang this afternoon explained my situation and appointment at 750am tomorrow with surgeon. Am hoping is breast cellulitis which can occur months after treatment.

Yer I think ill do that thankyou

Well 26th is 2 weeks away. Perhaps if you could speak with him/her or bc nurse attached to the clinic about it...they might get you one earlier if they think necessary.

PS I only had a lumpectomy with sentinel node biopsy followed by radiotherapy 

Hi @Nannatash I have a discoloured Breast which is also inflamed am seeing my surgeon tomorrow morning early as am also very worried as nipple is inverted. Had tests done when he was away in September at direction of GP at Pathology lab mammogram; u/s and fine needle biopsy as well as blood test - came up negative but still have the problem.

Its the tech I see breast specialist 26th oct and oncologist 8nov
