Hello there, I'm exactly the same! My treatments finished in 2019....and sometimes the ribs feel very tender....I haven't spoken to my GP but I think it's highly likely to be from the rads.....Is your pain constant?
Hello Mum2-5 and thanks for posting,
I can understand you asking, but I'm afraid I can't be sure what is causing this pain. Sometimes radiotherapy can cause late effects so this could be a possibility, but it could be something else as well. I think the best thing to do is to let your GP or breast care team know and see what they think.
All the best,
Julia
It has been like a dull ache on and off but today it was so bad I couldn't wear bra. It hasn't gone away, get more pain on breathing in
Mine got better when I wore a pull on bra. But it comes and goes...
Perhaps a chat to your breast nurse would be a good idea?
I have just spoken to breastcare nurse, she told me to ring GP so I have to call tomorrow
