I am on my second week, of radiation therapy and tonight is the first time I am really feeling discomfort, tightness in my chest and when I touch my chest it stings, I put moisturizing on it Are these normal side effects.

I go back on Monday, so hopefully it will feel better I have 2 more weeks left any input I would appreciate. thank you

I started getting side effects during the 3rd week. Mine were skin issues which are currently healing. My boob did feel a bit sensitive to touch...I could not wear a bra comfortably and some of my shirts really irritated the skin. I think I might have felt some tightness but I did daily stretching which seemed to help me. I am 9 days post radiation and everything is healing well. Still not comfortable with a bra for any length of time though.
