Re: Radiation questions??
Hello,
1 - yes my breast turned red and still to this day is a little darker than my other breast. I'm pretty fair.
2 - tiredness is probably different for everyone - I was worse through chemo
3 - yes I also got and still have some breast swelling. My surgeon says it's from scar tissue from the radiation and has suggested to remove it but I've just never gotten around to it.
( for the redness you can get some special cream from the radiologist, it help to sooth my skin)
I hope everything goes well for you...
Melissa
