I had my lumpectomy and axillary node biopsy (had SNB but it was positive so they had to go back in and get more to see) in Sept 04. My rads were done in the beginning of April 05. I still have tightness and tenderness. For some people, it can take a long time to go away or there may always be a "tightness" perception. I did ask my onco and surgeon and in the beginning, it is from the healing process but now, it is attributed to the way the nerves were cut and how they are healing. This is different for each of us (not only the way each of us heals but also where (exactly) we were cut and how long the cut is etc.
You sound like me. As Rhonda mentioned, you should always say something to your doctor (so that they know everything that is going on with you) but I don't think its anything to be concerned with. (Mine bothers me around the incision (scar tissue) area).
Warm regards
