Sassy, when one undergoes radiation(rads) as most of us have, as a "mop up" procedure to reduce the chance of local recurrance, you usually have some degree of scarring from the radiation. That's fibrosis. In my case, the scarring is internal and is usually spotted on my chest x-rays and CT scans, and noted as "changes consistent with fibrosis".
Apparently fibrotic tissue can also necrotise, or die. This I did not know. Yet another thing to look forward too! Guess I better keep an eye on this issue, maybe talk to my doc about Vit E supplements at least.
