Those who r in their early rad treatments will see that towards the end of treatment, you will experience a bad sunburn affect. Since my breasts r large, I also had to deal with blistering & oozing under the breast. Used clear Aloe Vera from the dr's office,then he gave me a prescription sauve & gel to use. I had to cut a t shirt into pieces to apply under the breast to absorb the moisture. I wore stretch bras that snapped in the front from Walmart. I ended treatment in mid April & the breast that recd treatment is firmer than the other, still tan, but I am retaining fluid. Areas of my breast's skin feels like an orange peel, which moves depending whether I am lying down or sitting up. Dr said it should go away in approx 12 months.

thanks to all who replied! Your info has made me aware of what to possibly anticipate. And while I know we all react differently, it is great to have the feedback of those who have been through it themselves.

Hi Denise...thanks for the feedback. I have burning feeling but no itch and not very much swelling of any so I am not sure if the sensation is a normal aftermath of rads (only my 2nd treatment) or if it is the signal of lymphedema.

I have had 3 treatments as well and have noticed just slightly pink breast and my skin is usually really warm afterwards, I have been very very tired though and wasnt expecting that this soon.
