Burning breast after 3 years
Does anyone else have a very tender, burning, sore breast after a lumpectomy years on ? My breast sometimes becomes hot and sometimes it has pains mainly on one side

If you ever have any worries, do contact your medical team - it doesn't matter how long afterwards. They will always fit you in. All the best on Friday- will be thinking of you. x Michelle
Thank you so much Michelle, I have an appointment with my surgeon next Friday so will speak to him about it, I have also just had shingles in this breast and in my back so maybe this has stirred up the radiation along way down the track ????.... It was great to hear from you as this has worried me since day one and I didn't know who to ask, thank you
Hi Ward,
A year after surgery, I suddenly had soreness and the area felt very hot. My GP sent me back to the surgeon, and it turned out to be an infection which had flared up, and took 3 courses of antibiotics to clear up. Have you checked with your surgeon? It would be worth a follow-up for your peace of mind. x Michelle
