Do your breasts feel tender whilst on chemotherapy?

I have had my 2nd round of FEC(due 3rd next week) and for past few days both my breasts have felt tender..bit like when your due to start your period. Is this the chemo doing this at all? Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Thanku

  • Hi Danni,

    Ive just finished chemo. Had 3 rounds of FEC and 4 rounds of the T part. All I can say is Oh Yes! My boobs were really painful which was worrying at the time but it's just the chemo doing it's thing. My tumor had shrank by half so it wasn't anything sinister so don't worry. Chemo I found causes aches and pains everywhere on your body. Just part of treatment but it's amazing how quick it all goes. I have my double mastectomy booked for 23rd of March as my cancer is stage 3 and advanced so I'm all prepped for further boob pain.

    Good luck with everything

  • I know this thread/post is a few years old but thank you, it has really helped me. My mind is in constant overdrive and every feeling in my boobs I am thinking is something sinister xx

  • Aww glad it put your mind at rest, I was the same but this chat site is fantastic for any questions you may have...and believe me I've asked some daft ones and someone has always given me advice which has helped tremendously. 

    Take care
