Radiation induced fibrosis?
Linda I've had a similar problem and also itch/soreness and a hard area
around the surgery site.
I finished herceptin Novenber and rads last April and my surgeon just confirmed it's radiation induced fibrosis.
It seems if you had a "boost" which I did you're more at risk of this and it can sometimes last years!
I was just so relieved it was'nt a local recurrance I felt I could live with anything else.
Maybe this is what you have too?
