On no that is unpleasant for you. I had burns and blisters on my collar bone as i had the lymph nodes in my neck zapped too. It is not the best but the job it does on the cancer is worth it. It took mine about a month to clear fully. All the best with your continuued recovery xx

Had radio but nothing like your side effects. Hope it settles soon and you get back on your feet soon. X

I had a similar situation this time last year,the radiology nurses gave me mepilix dressing to put on the area it was very helpful,eased the discomfort a lot although it still took a few weeks to clear away.

I had burns under my breast, as well as cream, I had dressings that I think were paraffin soaked these helped a lot with the discomfort keeping the area moist

Oh dear ... Not nice !! I had urns & skin loss across my chest and under my arm ... Unpleasant to say the least , but only took around 3-4 weeks ... In my mind worth it in the long run...keep positive ... Hugs X

I am currently experiencing the same - very sore. I have been using aloe Vera gel which seems to be helping. Xx

Hi i also had burns under my arm as i had lymphnodes removed also it took about 2 weeks to heal .just keep reminding yourself of the benefits its not easy but you will heal .xhugs

It well get better. Hang in there. I had the paraffin soaked dressings from the nurse in radiotherapy. They helped a lot and made me feel more confortable. To hold the dressings in place the nurse made a make-shift bra from 'knitted' type knickers!! They worked well. Hope yours improves soon xx

All these replies are frightening me. My first RT is scheduled for 1/9. Thinking of backing out now even though I've already had the simulation and tattoos. I've never felt comfortable about having RT. Do more women get these problems than not?
