After just 2 RADS my breast started to go very red, hot and swell. It got worse and sore.
Yesterday ( after my 6th RADS ) I saw the oncologist who said I have Cellulitis and has prescribed 2 different antibiotcs.
Just something else!!! My breast is swollen and can’t wear any bra’s but as it feels heavy I have put a bikini top on this morning, just for a bit of support!!!
O’h well only another 9 sessions to go and hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon. 
had it in my eye once, very painful, but the antibiotics kicked in within 24 hours, so hopefully you will feel better soon
Hi,
I didn’t it in my breast, but had it round my PICC line entry point during chemo, came up overnight. The antibiotics they gave me kicked it into touch pretty quick, so fingers crossed for you.
I couldn’t wear a bra in the later part of rads, I had 25 + 8. I have a couple of ‘secret support’ vest tops which I found useful.
Yes, I had it in my breast and side just after my first chemo. The whole area was so red, hot and swollen and terribly sore. I also had a very high temp and came within a whisker of being admitted to the ward. I was put on huge doses of anti-bees but it took a few days to start to go down and a few weeks to settle properly.
Do keep an eye on it as it’s a skin infection and is potentially very dangerous. It can lead to septicaemia if you have a compromised immune system so if it doesn’t improve soon make sure you go back for some stronger meds.
My onc gave me some more anti-bees to keep in case it came back so that I could self-medicate immediately but luckily it hasn’t reared its ugly head again.
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. I wore a bra throughtout the cellulitis, even at night, as I have large breasts (even after a WLE/ANC) and any movement of the infected one was sooooo painful.
