I was diag. 9 yrs. ago, been good since then. Had only 5 wks. radiation, I was very lucky, however, about 7 wks. ago, the breast that was treated has drastically began to change. Am having a lot of pain and my breast is getting smaller everyday. Very misshaped as well. Has anyone ever experienced this?

    I agree with Susan. Jade, it sounds like time to see your doctor. I have not heard of your circumstance, and have no idea what it might be.
    Get back to us and let us know what the doctor says! This Famly Circle needs to keep close and informed!!!!

    I agree with the others. However, my breast has been getting a little smaller than the other one over the past couple years but not misshapen. I think it is the radiation doing something to the tissue. BUT ... see the Doctor ASAP and let us know if it's all okay!
