I had radiation after a lumpectomy, and didn't get lymphadema and didn't burn that much. I continued to work through the treatment, and I didn't notice any extra fatigue that a working mom already has. I got some edema of the breast afterwards, but went to a thereapist specializing in lymphadema, and it resolved.
I had radiation to four areas, including the axilla and supraclavicular nodes - my cancer progressed, but I don't believe it was due to the rads...
I would certainly recommend getting a second opinion to get your questions answered - you should push to get the info you need to address your concerns.
Good luck w/ things,
