Any suggestions on what to do about soreness in my breast. I was treated with chemo and radiation. Chemo finished in Feb. and radiation in May. Any advise. Some days are worse than the others. I was told to try some vitamin E.

    My advise to you is do not ignore the sorness in your Breast because that is how I found my cancer the second time .I had cancer 14 yrs.ago in November and chemo treatments 14 yrs ago .Dec.1989-May 1990 I did not loose my hair then.In February of this year my left breast was real sore and I noticed two lumps and went through a needle localization biopsy and then surgery on the 28th of November . Sorness in breast is nothing to ignore please talk to your doctor and see what is going on . We all go Through a Storm in our lives .It is alright to be scared during the storm but always keep our trust in God. John 6:14-21 talks about facing the storm.
    You are in my Prayers at this time and always.

    Hi,I had soreness / tenderness in my breast after radiation for quite some time, rad onc and surgeon both said it is comon for a few month. For me it has been a year since the radiation and my breast is fine, sometimes I get a little stab like feeling, like needles. I am always beeing checked for something , so far so good. I feel confident with my doctors. If you have major concern, speak to the radiation onc. or your regular onc.about it to help you put your mind at ease. Hope this helps.((hugs)) and god bless...emmi

    I would like to just suggest that the pain you are experiencing could be nerve related. When nerves are rejuvinating it can feel some what painful. I had allot of nerve damage from surgery and treatments didn't help. It took years till doctors finally realized what my problems truly were. It took keep after them before they would address the problems I was having but keeping on them might help you in the long run.
    Be good to yourself,
