Has Anyone Had A Strange Sensation In The Breast Where You Had The Lumpectomy And Radiation?

Its hard to explain. I only feel it when Ive got my arms crossed in front of me. It feels like a rubbing sensation. Just wondering if anyone else has felt this?

Yes and 10 years later I still get it once in a while. Doc said it’s just nerve endings nothing to worry about.

I did have some pain after lumpectomy and radiation. My oncologist told me to massage area to reduce scar build up.

I am 4 years out and recently started feeling discomfort in the beast and nipple area. Finally had a sonogram. Turned out to be scar tissue.

Is this something new? Or have you always felt this?
I had odd sensations for at least a year after surgery and radiation.
I am about 3.5 years out , and still occasionally get odd sensations, feelings, in that breast.

If it’s something new, it never hurts to mention it to your ONC.
