my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and had the tumour removed, she then completed her course of radiation and was told she got the all clear.
Weeks After her radiation she started to struggle with pain and swelling of the breast area and kept getting `infections` which caused hospital admissions. My mum went back to her conultant five times before she was admitted and was saying something was not right however she was told this was part of the side effects from the radiation.
After multiple of times being seen she was then told she would have to have a mastectomy as this would not improve. This was upsetting for my mum after going through her radiotherapy she thought she was getting there.
Mum has now had the mastectomy and is now suffering with problems since her surgery and the wound area does not appear to be healing even after multiple of hospital visits and checks weekly and dressing changes.
is this common?
