You do not say what type of radiation therapy you had

but after radiation therapy the advice is to keep the breast out of the sun for the rest of your life as you are likely to get discoloration/skin changes from it.

I suppose what pattern/extent of changes might depend on whether you had whole breast or partial breast irradiation. Don't know if whether regular vs accelerated course causes different pigmentation issues has been studied.

Hope this helps somehow
