8 Weeks Post Radiotherapy. Pain at site of rumour and in lym

Hello. Have NSC Stage 3 lung cancer had Chemo Oncologist stated cancer had reduced as expected.

Had 20 sessions of Radiotherapy. Now post 8  weeks. experiencing pain at site of tumour and in lymph nodes also at site of cancer. Had chest x-ray.  Nothing new showing. Very wheezy. Is this normal due to scarring of lungs. Feel great otherwise. Also ear pain and some face pain. Thanks

 

  • It's great to hear the chemo has helped reduced the cancer Nindy although I'm sorry about the pain you've been experiencing since you finished your radiotherapy.

    As you'll see on our website, breathlessness can be one of the side effects of radiotherapy in this area but it's good to hear that nothing has showed up on your x-rays. 

    Hopefully some of our members who have contended with similar side effects will offer their support and advice to you soon but if you'd like to discuss this with one of our cancer nurses, they're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    I really hope the pain dies down for you soon Nindy and your recovery continues to go well.

    All the best,
