post radiation problems

I had Stage 1 breast cancer and finished chemo and radiation in May 2009.  I am now having a bout with mastitis in my right breast, the one that had the cancer.  I had a lumpectomy in Oct. 2008.  I also had mastitis in the left breast, when they found the cancer in the right.  
I have such an unsettling feeling as to WHY this is happening, and what can be causing the mastitis.  
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks
