Swelling after Rads

Hi all

I have not posted for a while, but finished my Rads on 24th March.

I am still nursing the radiation burns under my arm, thankfully it is almost healed.

Just wanted to put another question out there. My breast is still quite swollen and heavy, especially the areola which is quite raised and has an orange peel look to that area and the skin directly around it.

I am very large breasted and my lump was removed from the top of my breast and around 11 O’clock. The swelling and skin changes are between 4pm and 7pm. I hope this makes sense ??

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this.

Thanks all

Rachel xx
