Hi.
Don’t know if you can advise.
I finished all Radio middle of Sept last year.
I had an itchy rash afterwards, small bumps.
All gone now.
I’m a bit concerned, got a red spot on my chest, doesn’t itch or sore, not weeping.
Just wondered if it was one of the bumps come back.
Many thanks.
Hi kar3n
Thanks for posting.
It’s natural to be concerned as nearly everyone who has been treated for cancer worries about it coming back (recurrence)
Spots can occur for many reasons. We are unable to say what it may be due to or if it is associated with the radiotherapy you had last year. Skin reactions following radiotherapy tend to happen soon after treatment rather than a year later.
As this is a new spot, we would suggest you contact your treatment team or GP to get it checked.
Adapting to life after treatment can be difficult and often the need for information and support continues. We have a variety of other support services, which may be of interest to you, both online and face to face. For more details about all of these services, please see the information on the link.
