After effects of treatment

I thought once radiation treatment was over well everything is now okay. Well saw my radiation oncologist today for a 3 month check
She stated that there was fluid build up in the breast most likely caused by radiation and should be cleared by several months.
The breast feels heavy and in time will soften but not like my existing breast.
My radiation oncologist was lovely she told me that people assume once all treatment is over then you just go back to normal. It takes
a long while for that to happen. There is a lot of repair work going on.
I was so glad after a year to finish all treatment I have not thought thru well what next?
I have been so lucky .I also feel a bit lost .
