Hi Barb,
You have had this area radiated twice. I think there is a chance that it could be radiation necrosis. It is difficult to determine this without going in a taking it out. I have had two surgeries for radiation necrosis. I would be worried about having more radiation if that is a possibility. My surgeon, Peter Black, at the Brigham in Boston was the only doctor who still thought the second time that it could be necrosis and he was right. Even the radiologist was convinced it was another tumor. This is a tough situation and you are in my thoughts. Nevertheless, you might have more options than you think. I would search for a good team to deal with this.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.
