Breast pain

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and they removed the cancer from my breast. Also took out 6-8 lymph nodes. I then went through 5 weeks of radiation and am taking letrozole, a cancer drug. Since radiation I have been suffering with breast pain and it fills with fluid and has been drained 7 or 8 times now. It now needs to be drained again. I also have this horrible rash on the side of my breast and it seems to be spreading under my arm. Has anyone had to deal with these symptoms and what did you do and how long did it go on for?

You need to bring this to the attention of your Oncologist; it all sounds much like results of the Radiation. The fluid issue may be due to the cavity left when the surgery was done and Radiation does delay or inhibit healing. As a rule a certain length of time is allowed to pass following surgery before Radiation is begun for this reason. Your Surgeon and/or the Oncologist should have some help to offer you for these issues. Regards .....
