Hi everyone 

First time on here so  please excuse me if I am unfamiliar with the way things work. I had a sentinel lymph node removal and breast conserving surgery to my left breast in early October 22. Surgery went well and they removed a grade one 2.5cm stage 2b invasive cribriform breast cancer and an 8mm area of dcis. They also recommended a 5 day course of radiotherapy in early December which I did and I didn't need chemotherapy. No real snags apart from a small radiation burn towards the centre of my chest that finally seems to be on the mend hurrah! My question is about nipple changes after treatment.  I have been moisturising daily and have now noticed the left nipple is red and seems dry and the left areola appears darker in colour. They are definitely different from the right nipple and areola. Is this usual or should I be concerned about cancer spread or recurrence? I have rung the breast cancer nurses and left a message but they say it could be 48 hours before replying. 

Many thanks to anyone who answers, looking for either pointers to ask nurses or reassurance if anyone has met this before.
