rads necrosis

Juanita, someone else replied earlier and the post was lost as part of putting things back together here -- Her post talked about radiation fibrosis as being one possibility.

Anyway, I have a hard ridge under the breast that is due to radiation necrosis. It isn't visible but it does feel different than the opposite side. It is quite painful when it is touched. My rads doc (the senior rads doc at the radiation treatment facility) did not recognize what it was when I went to see her somewhere around 2 years after completion of rads. But my surgeon knew what it was. I hope yours is something more treatable.
