Radiotherapy Sessions

Can someone advise me if the pain I am feeling from the Lymph notes scar is to be expected? I only ask as the area of the breast cancer is on the opposite side to my Lymph node extraction but it is painful.  The radiotherapy is give on on both sides of my breast. The machine moves around me.  Also where my scar is from my breast cancer surgery after 3 sessions I am developing a small blister at the end of the scar?

Thank you

  • Hi Rosemary,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    Mention the small blister to your care team next time you attend for radiotherapy. It is still early days in respect of your lymph node scarring. I found that this took a lot longer to heal than the scarring from my breast. Again, if you are worried about this, chat to your care team about it and I expect that they'll reassure you that this is normal at this stage. How many sessions of radiotherapy are you due to have? I hope that it all goes well.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
