Hello and thanks for posting,

I can appreciate your concern. I am not sure whether you are still having radiotherapy treatment, or you have finished it.

Skin can react to radiotherapy, and become more sensitive and sore. We have information about the side effects

on our website as well as tips for skin care and also information about these on the Breast Cancer Now website

Do speak with your radiotherapy care team at the hospital, or your breast care specialist nurse (if you have one) for further advice.

I hope that this helps,

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.

Yours sincerely,

Vanda
