Hello,
Did you say that you didn’t start having pain until the last couple of weeks of radiation?
Today will be day 3 for me and I am having soreness in my breast and underarm area. I didn’t have any pain until after my first treatment this past Monday.
The nurse and tech said they don’t think it’s from the radiation because it’s too soon for it to cause that….but unless it’s a coincidence, I feel like it did.
So I’m not sure what to think. Thoughts?
Thank you for your reply. I’m sorry you are still having pain and issues so many years later!
Yes, the pain is near where the tumor was.
What’s weird is that I had 2 Lymph nodes removed and they were clear, so I don’t need radiation in that area but I am having some pain there now. I did have a tough time recovering and a lot of nerve pain from that Lymph surgery but it had gotten much, much better, so I was surprised when it started hurting again. It makes sense how you said the radiation is inflaming the nerves in my breast but i didn’t think I’d have issues under my armpit from it. I will mention it to my Rad Oncologist.
Thanks again and take care!
