Hello, I had my mastectomy in Novemberand had an implant at the same time.
In Dec I had to have the nipple removed.
All semed well. No problems.

I’ve just started my chemo . Had 1st FEC on the 17th April
Had a jab the following day to boost my W B Cells.
Still managed to have a bowel inf!!

More worryingly in the soreness in my scar tissue where the nipple was.
Although there is no redness breast is tender.

Anyone else had anything like this?
Is it the Chemo??

Any suggestions would be appreciated
All the best
