Itching axilla

Im itching not where i expected to. I
Had first radiotherapy to my chest wall/breastbone area today but I’ve got terrible itchy and burning feeling tonight in lower part of axilla & outside of my breast. They didnt radiate that area as far as I know or does it normally cover the whole chest wall?

These side-effects are always so annoying! I hope they don’t last too long for you @susynight

I was told my radiated area was from my breastbone all the way to my underarm area, between my collarbone and the bottom of the breast area - but worth checking if yours is different.

Best wishes for your recovery journey. Xx

Thankyou for your reply i think it would make sense of the itching if theyve radiated right across. I just assumed they did like a target area. I will ask tomorrow. Ive plastered it with e45 which seems to have calmed it a bit!

Didnt happen after today’s treatment thankgoodness
