Hi
Its over 3 weeks now since inhad my last radiotherapy treatment. I thought all was ok but over the last week the underneath part of my breast looks like it has a massive purple/brown bruise which hurts somedays. My nipple has become sore to touch also. Im just wondering if this is a normal reaction as i onow radiotherapy can stop in your system for a while afterwards.
Thank you x
Sore nipple is definitely a thing. I developed what looked like a iron burn a while after radiotherapy finished. I think (as usual) different people are affected different ways depending on how many sessions they had at what strength and what area etc.
Keep applying whatever your favoured skin cream was.
Definitely contact your team and explain your reactions. They will be able to advise and perhaps prescribe something to help.
