Radiotherapy breast side effects

Can anyone help me with the timing after therapy. My daughters wedding is two weeks after I've finished and I want to wear a bra? Is it possible or not? A sports bra would do!

  • Hi Alecross,

    Hope you dont mind a man replying. I had 37 radiotherapy treatments for prostate cancer and didnt suffer any side effects. I think it all depends of the idividual and how they react to the treatment. I was advised to use Simple soap which helped a lot. I hope that you like me dont suffer any side effects.

    Sending best wishes and kind thoughts your way and hope you make a complete and full recovery, Brian.

     

     

  • Hi

    I am two years on from treatment from breast cancer, and I can remember following radiotherpy my breast being a bit red.  I went to m & S to be measured and purchased a really soft bra, they are really good with women who have breast cancer.

    Hoping treatment was not too bad, and wish you well.

    Take care xxx

  • You should be fine as long as it's not a wired one. I am on number 9'of 15 tomorrow and have only a bit of pinkness. Keep up with the cream for a few weeks after you finish as well as they say the 'cooking' goes on for a couple of weeks after. If you only wear a bra when going out, you will reduce friction rub. Hope you have a wonderful day x
