Radiotherapy induced Fibrosis

Is there anyone out there whohas experienced this? I was about 15 months post lumpectomy & 15 radiotherapy treatments when I had a massive reaction & the shrinking started - 6 months after this and the breast is hard, painful and the scars have shrunk. The onco & surgery team don’t seem to know what the results might be or how long it will take. I’ve been on Vit E & pentoxifylline but it’s noy making any difference. Am getting very depressed. Glo
