Is there anyone out there who has had cancer diagnosed in both breasts at the same time and still experience heat in your breast or breasts from radiotherapy?
I was fortunate enough to find the a lump in one breast last December but after a mammogram i was told i also had a lump in the other. I had surgery to remeove them both and lymph nodes both sides in January followed by radiotherapy.
I am now five months on from radiotherapy and im still experiencing heat in both breasts.It also seems to have effected my eyesight and given me tinitus. During and after the treatment i had a continual headache for over three months…goodness knows why!! I was unable to tolerate Tamoxifen due to the side effects. After blood tests, which i now have to have take from my feet,it was decided i was becoming post menopausal. I started Letrozole and after 19 days had to stop taking that due to an awful skin burning sensation.
Im quite frightened to try another oestrogen suppressing drug as ive found the experience of both drugs make me very ill with their side effects and had a real knock on effect on daily life even though ive kept going.
