Radiation in March on 1 breast, implant surgery in August, no outward signs of skin damage from radiation at all; pectoralis muscle felt good. My PS insisted on Lat Dorsi on radiated breast. Side is alot of muscle, & raised area right behind my arm. From the front side looks like a body builder. It is extremely uncomfortable. I really didn't think I needed the Lat dorsi but my PS was worried about future capsular contracture. I don't think I can live with this bulging feeling on my side/back.
