I had pre cancer cells to show up last fall in my right breast. I had a lumpectomy first week of Nov. 08 and the cancer had not spread. The Dr. said we caught it in time. I had 30+ radiation treatments. I still have itching, pain, and soreness in my breast. My last treatment was Jan. 9. Is this normal? Rose Ann

Hi - It actually takes many women a long time to shed the side effects of radiation, be they fatigue, skin issues, or pain/itching. So, hang in there; gradually, over time, all of this should fade. In the meantime, let your doctor know what's going on; maybe he/she can recommend something to help. Good luck - PJH
