Hi, I was diagnosed in Sept 2021, had wide local incision,  complicated and lots of problems, had radiotherapy and I am on Anastrazole. 

A question I don't know what to do, I have been feeling unwell for nearly 2 weeks, very tired, thirsty, wee alot, itchy skin alot of hot flushes... min 6 times a day amd it hurts when presure is on the side of chest where I had the BC , I don't feel well, can't check nipple as I havnt got one, no redness just hurts to touch

Any suggestions what I should do? Or is this normal?

Thankyou

  • Hello June and thank you for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your situation.

    I'm afraid that we cannot diagnose symptoms however, some of them, for example, the hot flushes could be caused by the anastrozole you are taking. Hormonal treatment can cause menopausal side effects. 

    You may want to contact your breast cancer nurse and let them know about your symptoms.  

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,
