Radiation problems
Hi everyone, I have just had my 20 of 30 radiation treatments and am experiencing terrible stabbing pains that make me feel like I need to breathe as if I was in labour! I have had them in the weeks after surgery but not as bad as this. It seems to start about 4-5 hours after radio and lasts about 12 hours or at least last night I took some panadeine and finally fell asleep. Guessing it's part of the normal process but has anyone found something that helps? Feeling a little sore and sorry for myself as it is as my under arm and under breast have become very red and sore, with a burning pain but the nurse has now given me some xylocaine and bepanthan which is helping to soothe it. Counting down the days! Maria
