Hi all,
only started radiation two dats ago and same night each of two nights one patch of skin swelling noted with radiotherapist, keeping eye on and thought to be allergy to something! But intermittent shooting sharp pain in breast. Has anyone else had thus? Really sharp pain comes all of a sudden then goes…not sure whether due to radiation or not…night before first session had something similar post excercise stretching yoga class …nurse thinks overdone things …op only in june
Hi Densie
I have had some shooting pains all perfectly normal according to radiotherapist! xx
Hi Densie!
I haven’t been told I have clips but I think it is highly likely I have to pinpoint tumour location.
I hope all your sessions go well…I am on number 10 of 15 tomorrow so on the home straight xx
Good to hear others are getting shooting pains in breast as well. I am half way through radiotherapy sessions. First week was fine and I got hang of breath holding technique so it now feels more comfortable during the session. However this weekend I have felt exhausted and have shooting pains in left breast as well as pains in other joints. Also have had a headache since Friday that I can’t shift. Just general feel washed out so can’t wait to get to end of this treatment.
Hi Annie,are you drinking plenty of fluids ?I felt exhausted and had headaches and the radiographer said drink more water and it helped a lot .I also had shooting pains throughout the treatments !
It does seem to really drag when you reach the half way point !!!
Morning lovely ladies. Phew thx so much for letting me know. Have any of you also had what looks like allergy, risen pink circular area on skin where I think the beam hits skin? Def caused by treatment, they said cream but isn’t not had over weekend! Xxxx
I had allsorts of strange reactions !!!
I reacted to the E45 cream !! They said it was the lanolin in it ?
Had reaction after first session!! R u using E45?
Itchy and red.Im sensitive to lots of things but never had a reaction to E45 before it’s obviously the combination of the radiation and the ingredients .
Can’t remember but it did die down every weekend when I wasn’t being blasted!!!
