Great podcast 😊. After chemotherapy, radiotherapy was a breeze. The radiologists at my hospital were second to none. It will leave you tired, so listen to your body and do rest.
Having suffered with frozen shoulder following the Covid vaccine, and struggling with it for nearly 12 months, I had a course of physiotherapy and it worked like a charm. It was no quick fix and took a good 6 months before I started to have normal movement back. I couldn’t even reach my arm behind my back to do my bra up. Having had a mastectomy last year on the same side, I was religious about doing my post operative exercises as having had frozen shoulder once, and suffering horribly, I knew it was a side effect. Glad to say I’ve had no further issues since. I can’t stress how important it is to do your post operative exercises to help avoid this debilitating condition.
I was put on a new regime for radiotherapy, I only had to have 5 sessions, so just one week. I thought it was pretty easy but my rib has been really sore ever since, every bra I’ve tried is uncomfortable. I can’t stretch out my left side as well as my right side now. Anyone about to go through this, don’t underestimate how exhausting it can be, I fell asleep every afternoon for about 3 weeks afterwards
Learned a lot from this thank you. I've had lots of wound issues after my surgery on 22nd Dec, so only have my planning appt. for Radiotherapy on 24th May so I will be over the 20 weeks by the time I have my 3 weeks of Radiotherapy. Hopefully I don't miss out on the benefits having it so late
Had a week of radiotherapy last December…4 months ago…….my left breast has swollen massively, breast care nurses don’t think this is edema . In the last few weeks the left side of my collar bone has also swollen…not fluid or soft, but the actual bone end..is this normal ?

Is upper back spine pain (one spot) a side effect of radiotherapy?
