Hi,

 I am 22/28 rads and I think my radiated breast is starting to tighten.  Can the PS even me out and make it look even?  I'm so bummed out.

    I right with you on this one!  My reconstruction looked OK right after exchange, but rads is definitely taking a toll.  My PS said he can correct some of the tightness with a revision.  He wants to wait 3 months after my last radiation tx before we decide on a course of action so that my skin has a chance to "bounce back".

    I had #26 of 28 regular treatments today which consisted of whole breast, axilla and supraclav.  I start 8 boosts to the scar line next week.
