Hi
I've had radiotherapy following a breast lump removal.
I spoke with others who'd had this treatment prior to beginning mine. They'd say things like:-
"it was a walk in the park"
"I had it in my lunch break and went back to work"
Anyway, I'm feeling sorry for myself. My ribs leading side to back are in constant niggling pain. I have to hold my breast to walk as any movement is like a razor blade slicing backwards and forwards. If I sit still with a bra on I still feel my back but this helps the breast pain, that's when I notice the numbness, the general soreness and then I awaken suddenly realising I've drifted off for 5 minutes.
I'm sure I'm not alone with my after effects and I wanted to share in case you're feeling like me and it hasn't been as easy as expected!
