Post radiation on breast
Hi, I had a lumpectomy July 2022 followed by chemo and then radiation.
I finished my radiation 7th June this year so 8 weeks ago.
I’m beginning to have some pain in my breast near my scar and towards my armpit, also my breast feels like there’s a lump near my scar also, could this be something to do with the after effects of radiation?
Thank you x
Hi Twig88
Thank you for your post.
I am sorry to read that you are experiencing pain and a feeling of a lump close to your scar.
The symptoms you mention may be as a result of radiation but we would always advise that you inform your Breast Care/Radiology team of your concerns who will assess and advise.
If you would like to speak with a cancer nurse we are available Mon-Fri 9am-5pm 1800 200 700.

Hi twig88
The pain and the lump is probably the after effects of radiation.
