Hi Ploppy,

I am so sorry to hear about the pain that you're having following radiotherapy. After 7 weeks I would expect it to be settling rather than getting worse.

Do please discuss this with your oncologist this week. Are you applying your moisturiser regularly?

Please let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Hi Jolamine,

thanks for your reply. Yes still using the moisturiser, trying not to think it’s something more sinister :-(

Hi Ploppy, my husband had terrible arm pain weeks after radiotherapy.  It turns out he was anaemic whuch affects the blood flow to your muscles causing pain, he had a blood transfusion and that helped enormously.  Ask them to check your blood count.  Good luck,  Carol x 

Hi Carol,

thanks for your reply, sorry to hear your husband struggled as well, that’s really interesting though, that could also explain why I feel constantly exhausted. Something to discuss this week.

Thanks again.

Hi Ploppy,

I do hope that your oncologist can put your mind to rest this week.

Kind regards,
