Hi nessdav
Welcome to the BCC forums, sorry to read you are struggling with pain. I’m sure some of the other users will be a long to offer you their support and experiences. In the mean time you might find it helpful to give the helpline a call and talk things through with a member of staff. Here you can share your concerns with someone who will offer you a listening ear as well as emotional support and practical information. The number to call is 0808 800 6000 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 to 5pm and Saturday 10 to 2pm.
Best wishes Sam, BCC Facilitator
Hi nessdav, I mostly had pain in the breast. I didn’t do the exercises while I was having rads so had aches & pains and weakness in arm/shoulder immediately after rads. Painful when I tried to lift things, but ok when resting.
If you don’t get much response you could re-post in the Treatment section under radiotherapy. There are a few ladies with experience there.
