Sore scalp and tender spots on head

The only thing is that I noticed sensitivity while I was doing radiation. I am 1A BC ER positive, HERs negative. Therefore I only did Lumpectomy, 20 sessions of radiation and then Lupron and Latrozole. Nothing else. I did noticed sensitivity in one little part of my scalp two weeks in radiation, then a month later I started on Lupron then Letrozole, the sensation that you describe on the spots that you described I have felt that, but I though it was due to radiation. Now the spot I felt during radiation was more to my right, now I feel that exactly sensation you feel on those spots that you feel. Mine is on and off. I did an appointment with the dermatologist which I will see tomorrow because I though that maybe radiation cause me that skin reaction. I am just trying to guess what it is and now that I see your post you are describing exactly what I feel. I really don't know.

I wonder is it not a side effect of Letrozole. I was doing so well on Letrozole, but this cycle is really kicking my behind. Most of my side effects started in the last 3 weeks. Started off with tight neck muscles and slowly gotten worse to the point where my neck and back of head was warm to touch. Now there is the burning pain and just strange sensation (feels like neuropathy to me).

All the best with your appointment. Please keep me posted.
