Radiation burn with seroma

Hi all, new here. I'm Kelley.  I guess I could tell my whole story, chemo, surgery, foot nerve pain (still, fu taxol), but my main concern is radiation on my seroma.  I had a bilateral, and also a complete lymphectomy on my right side.  I have had the seroma drained at least 12 times since surgery 10 weeks ago, at one point they took out 1000cc (4 cups for americans) of fluid.  Now radiation is cooking my fluid into a hard mass.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Left side is healing normally, my right side just looks like a hot mess about to explode.

    I was fortuante enough to not have rads or this problem.  However, I will add you to the pink ladies prayers and hope you get some relief along the way.

    Hugs,
