Weeping Breast
Hello Ladies, I hoping someone can help me.. I finished my Radiation treatment 2 weeks ago today.. I knew to expect that the burns would probably get worse before they got better and that was fine, But I have now developed a horrible rash which has gone over the tio of my burns, all over my breast, and now spread to my other Breast.
I saw my Breast care nurse yesterday and she is at a loss as to what is causeing it, we changed from Jelonet to something else and stopped the sorbeline (which I don't like anyway), to see if I was having a reaction to that...
She spoke to my rad onco, he said to try Phenergon and just use solugel, and cortisone cream on the areas that are not broken.
I had an appointment to go back tomorrow but after not sleeping much at all, and waking with my dressings, nightie, and sheets wet with fluid, then taking 2 phenergons at 6am, changing all my dressings, and finally falling a sleep, I woke again with dressins soaked..
I have spoken to my nurse she wants me to come back in this afternoon, but my Onco is in a meeting so have to wait.
My nurse to photos yesterday and says that yes my breast is swollen also.
I cannot stand anything touching me, apart from it weeping and soaking through everything, it feeles like little needles.
I don't know if you can get lymphoedema in your breast can you?
Has anyone expereinced anything like this?
I am so tired from not sleeping and starting to feel very nauseas
I hope this all makes sense

- arpieMemberSO sorry to read you've been going thru all this, @Spirit-Harmony - hoping the endone keeps you pain free & able to sleep & that fluid starts dissipating soon & the wounds start to dry & heal! Take care xxx
Thanks @kitkatb. I went to the clinic again today.. Breast care nurse says its a type of lymphedema.. so full of fluid. Keeping it dry now opposite to the burns lol. But with water proof dressings for bed. On Endone as well. When it heals and I can stand someone touching me they will do lymphatic massage on it. Thanks for your thoughts xxkitkatb said:@Spirit-Harmony I hope you get on top of this soon. Let us know how you get on and thinking of you. hugs xox- Thanks it makes a big difference doesn't it x

You can develop lymphodeama in your breasr and it is common with radiotherapy.
Keep intouch with breast care nurse and treatment team.
