It depends on where the tumor and the SN were, how big they were, whether they had to take more out for dirty margins, plus how healthy you were to begin with, so everybody has different results. My soreness originally was from the seroma that followed the lumpectomy and eventually the surgeon aspirated the excess fluid for me and that helped. But with rads tx after that I also ended up with rads necrosis at the base of the breast, and rads also caused the breast to tighten up. I am 3 years out from rads and I think that in my case the underarm and lumpectomy site will always be moderately sore.
