Nighttime breast swelling

Going through breast cancer treatment Hormone therapy
1

Hi All,

Just wanted to see if this is normal,
History:
I was diagnosed with mucinous breast cancer in left breast in April this year, Grade 1 and just on the cusp of Stage 2 I’m told and now 5 months post mammoplasty, almost 3 months post radiotherapy and on Letrozole from the start and continue for 5 years.

So my worry ( amongst many) is that my breast still intermittently swells but just at night , it becomes extra sore and it’s most noticeable in how large the nipple becomes…. Anyone else experience this so long after active treatment?

Please check with your doctor. It may be lymphedema or a side effect of your medication. I had a similar experience with estrogen blockers so had to switch medications.
All the best to you!
