I had an awful lot of nerve pain from my underarm clearance and also experienced a lot of sharp stabbing pains from the radiotherapy treatment - this was usually in the rib area. I am 15 months on from rads now, but still get the odd stabbing pain and have been told it can take up to 2 years to settle. I also continually have a dull ache around the area of my WLE as I had to have a 5 rad boost on the scar tissue.

However, if I were you I would definitely talk to the breast care nurse to put your mind at rest. They can generally get appointments sorted out quickly (mines can get an appointment with the surgeon or oncologist within 5 days). It may be that she could get your mum’s appointment chased up and brought forward if she thinks it is necessary.
