How Does Radiation Therapy Affect Breasts?

September 6, 2013
Asked By:Tammy Lee

What exactly does radiation therapy do to breast tissue? What are the long term effects? I am having a lift done and on a second opinion I was reccommended to not have anything done with the breast that had radiation! I have a Lucy scheduled .. One breast is a size C the other a Dd/Ddd but I'm having second thoughts that it maybe a mistake. It has been 5 years since I had cancer and treatment. Please advise!
