Breast tenderness during radiation therapy is a common side effect that many patients experience, especially in the early weeks of treatment. While this can be concerning, skin and tissue reactions often develop as the body responds to radiation. It's always best to discuss any new or worsening symptoms with your radiation oncology team, as they can provide guidance specific to your treatment plan and may suggest comfort measures to help manage the tenderness.
