Radiotherapy itching

Hi all,

haven’t posted for a while but I’ve just completed 10 radiotherapy sessions for breast cancer.

(if anyone would like some reassurance or advice I am happy to help if I can)

to be honest I’ve been totally fine (fingers crossed it stays like this) but can anyone advise what I can use to stop the itching? My skin isn’t broken and it’s not painful but the itch in and around my nipple is driving me insane. 

thank you x

  • Hi Elrio12,

    It's good to hear you have been getting on OK for the most part.

    My reply here will boost your post, so a few more people should see it and then hopefully you'll get some more replies soon.

    If you'd like to chat to one of our nurses to get their thoughts on this, you are welcome to give them a call on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.
