[quote="rose8"]i have not been on for a while its a year since i finished all my treatments i occasionally have pain in the breast i had op on is this normal im Hi Rose, My name is ellen and, it has been two year's since I finished my rad following my lumpectomy, and I still have tedernes also. I think it's just something I'll have to live with. And that's the key word. LIVE.
I was told that the breast tissue is very sensitive so I think it's normal, but mention it to yor Dr.anyway.

Any operation will interfere with the tissues involved, which includes nerves, and it takes far longer for them to recover than one is generally told. Twinges of pain often follow operations.
However, if they are persistent and uncomfortable, I agree that you should see your doctor about them. |

If you had rads, you will more than likely have sporadic, ongoing pain. The golden rule is...if the symptom last for more than two weeks, then you need to have it checked. Pain is always an indication that something is not right; however, in your instance, you are recovering from some mighty heavy treatments and procedures. Your body needs time to heal...and it could take years. If you had rads, your breast will have changes going on for a number of years. I still get periodic pains and tenderness at the side of the breast, near the armpit...my rads were in 2003. It comes and goes.
