Hi Everyone I have number 5 RADs today and my nipple feels quite sore today do you think its the early effect of RADs. I asked a member of staff but didnt really get an answer!!!
I had another experience today I booked transport and a big ambulance drew up outside lots of curtain twitching going on now. Never mind it gives the lovely neighbours something to talk about!!!
Hope you all well

Hi Kay
Hope rads is going ok. I finished 16 zaps last week. My nipple felt (and still does) as though it’s on ‘high alert’ if you know what I mean!
Anything that touched it made it very sore particularly if it rubbed.
I just kept slapping Aqueous on.
Glad you’ve kept the neighbours busy ;o)
Take care

Yep I got one of them sore nips too… today was zap number number 23 for me. I actually have quite a spectacularly red boobie but the nipple is now so dark it looks purple. Am continuing with the aqueous cream but have to say applying it to the nipple is a bit painful … have taken to using my squishy cushion in bed between my arm and my side to stop my upper arm resting on any part of my boob.
Didn’t get a sore nipple as had had a mastectomy so no nipple to zap.
However about towards the end of the treatment the remaining one was sore which sent me into a quick panic. Then I realised, for the last half of the treatment I hadn’t been wearing a bra just a T shirt which was rubbing against it and causing the soreness. Panic over but worth pointing out it may save others from worrying in the future.

Hi everyone
Thanks for replies.
It has been just a funny feeling this weekend and I love the phrase ‘on high alert’. Nobody ever mentioned this!!!
Not to worry

Hi all
If I was runner I’d say it was ‘runner’s nipple’ you know, friction from rubbing on clothing, but as I haven’t run for a while I’ll just say ‘it’s friction from rubbing on clothing’!!!
Know what you mean, lilacblushes, about touching the nip - ouch! Mine is yellow at times when really painful.
Oh joys - it’s no wonder they don’t tell you as no-one would bother.

Well it appears that my nipple has decided it’s going to peel… looks a bit strange but not too tender at the moment… I won’t go tweaking it just in case. Also got a little pit of a peeling effect going on around my WLE scar … but my old chest drain scar which has been there for years is now bright white … shame it’s not approaching Xmas or I could get a leading role in the nativity play as it looks like the guiding star!
Only 2 booster rads to go and then I’m done … apart from the never ending joys of tamoxifen that is!
