I had WLE & SNB followed by 15 radiotherapy sessions three years ago. I now take Anastrozole. About 9 months ago I had an infection in the same breast and had 2 lots of antibiotics. On and off since surgery I have felt discomfort in my arm pit generally when I’m not well with something else! in the last few days my nipple area has become quite painful and doesn’t look normal. Should I try to seek local advice or am I panicking too soon? I do struggle with anxiety! Thank you

I’ve found the Tesco wire free bras really comfortable. High cotton content and cheap too!

Thank you Shi for trying to help me. Excuse my stupidity but do you mean the polyester type cotton wool?

Three years ago I had a WLE and SNB. The surgeon was able to do both procedures through one cut. My problem now is that the ‘smaller’ boob is fairly pert and the other one is heading south! I’ve not worn boned bras since diagnosis. I’m surprised at how upset I’m feeling after all this time. Everything I wear looks lopsided. What can I do? Ideas please! No M&S in my town.

Thanks Aneeebel. I’m hopeful the antibiotics will work. I’ll leave it until Monday and call my GP, who is ace, ref contacting the hospital.

I finished my Radiotherapy just over 2 years ago following WLE and SNB. I’m taking Anastrozole. Yesterday I woke up to find my breast is bright red and the skin sore in one area. I saw my GP today and he’s put me on 7 days of antibiotics for an infection. I’m really worried about it! Is it back?? Has anyone else had this problem so long after surgery and rads? Thanks

Hi! I’m on Sertraline and Anastrozole. I get very panicky too! Knowing that the hormone treatment is keeping those nasty cancer beggars at bay is very calming. As I take my tablet each day I say out loud ‘take that you barstewards’ just to prove I’m in charge!!! It’s a very scary time for you at the moment but a short while down the line you’ll come out the other end. 🏋️ ♀️ Hugs.

Oh Jobey that makes me feel better. I’m 20 months since WLE & SNB and 17 months since 15 rads. Recently I’ve had a lot of pain, nipple changes and swelling. I can hopefully assume that this is all normal too! Does anyone know how long I’m entitled to access to a breast nurse?

I’ve just received a call back letter for next Wednesday. Had WLE and SNB followed by rads a year ago, so this is my first mammogram. I coped really well on diagnosis etc but now I’m really worried and upset. It must be back!

I'm 7 months after surgery and 5 since rads. I too have more discomfort now than just after treatment. My BC nurse told me that in their terms it's still early days and not to worry. I found that comforting but I feel even better now knowing that there are others just like me!

I saw my oncologist today. WLA & SNB March. Nearly three months post radiotherapy. My breast has been red and hot for a few weeks now and I'm so sore to the touch. He thinks it might be cellulitis and has given me a week of antibiotics. What I'm concerned about is that he said that if the symptoms don't improve I'll need a scan. What else could it be? Could it be cancer again?

Has anybody had problems with bruising please? I have quite a few, some of them quite large. I do bruise easily anyway but this is more than usual. Any ideas please?

Thanks Janey2. I'm seeing my GP soon. I might have a conversation about it but we're going away for a long holiday so any change might not be a good idea. I hate feeling so pants!
