I started my second week rads today and tonight I have horrible pain in the tumour site, no painkillers are touching it. I know this can be a side effect of femara but it started after rads today. Is this a coincidence or has anyone else had this. I expected surface, skin pain with rads but not this sharp stabbing, like being stabbed with aknitting needle.
Hi Kit,
I’m 3 weeks post rads now and it is only in the past few days that my pain has gone - the best way I can describe it is, is like a bad bruise without the discolouration.
I would mention it to your radiographers tomorrow, hopefully there will be something you can have to help with the pain.
Axx
thank you, I spoke to them today and was told that it was the neve endings that were newly healed being inflamed by RADS. They don’t mention this is the SE booklet! Seeing oncologist at clinic on thursday and hopefully get some pain relief. PS I love your beautiful cat. I have a turkish van cross and he is a big soft lump.
