Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I started my Radiation and I am on 5 of it. I noticed something the very first day of treatment and they said that usually doesnt happen. I felt swollen. Anyway, one day I have no side affects like yesterday, but the day before.. ouch, the side of my breast hurts, like I have PMS with my fibrocysts or something. Very tender. I have no reddening though. Todays radiation went fine, so far no tenderness, but then again, it usually flairs up in the evening. Has anyone had something like this from the beginning of radiation? Its not painful, just that I notice something in my breast different. I dont want to sound like a baby to the nurses, but I keep telling them I feel a little/and looks a little swollen to me with tenderness already. They just say.. " hmmm, usually that doesnt happen yet, but everyone is different! " Like to hear others opinions, thanks char Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I am on Day 6 of my radiation and I didn't notice the swelling until the last few days. I haven't gotten red yet but the nurse said that I probably see some red during the 2 or 3 week. I noticed some mental " spaciness " or it was hard to concentrate on what some of the kids were saying at school during the first few days but that seemed to settle down the second week. ne > > I started my Radiation and I am on 5 of it.
