Post lung cancer

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate any feed back. After radiation therapy and chemo, my skin is really tender and chest bones sore. It’s been 18 months, i get little sleep because my skin is so tender. Has any one been through this? Any suggestions. Thank you. Susie

Re: Post lung cancer

Hi @Susanne,

 

That doesn't sound very nice at all!

 

Has anyone else experienced these sorts of side effects post-radiation and chemo?

Re: Post lung cancer

Hi.

I have stage 3 lung cancer.  I had chemotherapy and radiation every day for 3 months. I'm now receiving immunotherapy treatment every 2weeks.  My skin was very irritated.  Red and sore..It will improve!  Keep moisturising morning and night , it helps! 

 

 Regards.
