radiation scarring

I had radiation 3 years ago on right breast.  In the past 3 years my breast has become very swollen and dense, it now weighs much more than the left one, making finding a decent bra a problem.  Has anyone else experienced this, and do you have any suggestions, treatments, etc.

Yes, I see my oncologist every 4 months, just had mammogram 2 weeks ago, and yeah I'm sure is from radiation.  Mostly I wanted to know if anyone else has this,  As a aside, I am quite top heavy, always have been, but is now worse on right side

I agree with japdip.

The only outward symptom I had for my BC was my breast was larger but under my arm. Please see your doctor and get this looked at. I didn't have those issues with my radiation. That's not normal... whatever normal is :)

Best wishes

I'm wondering if you have had frequent ck.s and how you know that the symptoms you have now are the result of the past Radiation. If not I suggest that you see a Breast Specialist about this to be sure that the previous Rads is the cause. Regards .....
