I had a lumpectomy and radiation starting last July and just had my first mammogram since the surgery. About 5 days later the breast that was treated turned very red. It has gradually faded, but still is not like the other breast. I realize they squashed areas with scar tissue, but has anyone else experienced this?

    Hi surudder1 and welcome! I haven't had my first mammo yet, so, I can't help you with your question. You should probably call your doctor and ask about it. Good luck!

    sorry, my first mammo was almost two years after surgery, and didn't have anything like that happen. Did you talk to your doctor?
