Hi I had radiotherapy back in August 2021 after lumps for breast cancerand now I have side rib pain on the same side is it from the radiotherapy or something more sinister I am awaiting a ct scan to find out has anyone else experienced rib pain

    Hi 21shar66

    I had 15 sessions of radiotherapy completing them in  February 2020. Yes I do get bone pain in my ribs. My cancer was in the left breast  but I get the pain on both sides. I haven't had it checked but may mention it the next time I see an oncologist. Don't think it's anything sinister, but I get why you are concerned. 
     

    I wish you well.
