Scar Tissue
Hello Members, I am new here. I had bc in my left breast in 2018. After 18 rounds of radiation I was all clear. I am just wondering whether anyone else here has pain that radiates from under thei...
Hi @jenott I am sorry to hear about the ongoing discomfort and I echo @Julez1958 on the benefits of a breast specialist physio.
My left breast was/still sensitive (after a lumpectomy and 15 radiation treatments) and I had twinges and had to brace myself for ultrasounds in the area for heart and breast checks and my 3D mammogram.
My oncologist has always said tell me when or if you notice pain- ie @cranky_granny approach and so I did. She referred me to the specialist breast physio and even though I went privately initially, the GP indicated that I could also access a care plan which provided a subsidised rate for the physio.
I’d never imagined there was laser treatment and together with massage and stretching it has helped.

Having said all that I am conscious it’s only 9 months since the end of my chemo and immunotherapy and it’s just over a year since I finished radiation therapy. You’ve been putting up with something for a while so sending you good wishes for some relief.
