Sores due to Radiation damage

I am just wondering how many others have had this problem with their expanders or implants after having radiation treatment.  Two months after finishing radiation treatments I developed sores on my left breast where I had treatment.  It took me over 5 months, including a surgery and doing hyperbaric oxygen chamber treatments and wound care visits to heal.
