Hi ccasper, I had double mastectomy with immediate implants but unfortunately they found another microscopic cell in my left breast and had to have 25 x radio.... so far so good make sure the hospital you go to use mepitel - this protects the skin from severe burns (its like glad wrapping your skin) I was all good except for a little burn marks under my armpit and a little on the breast which was uncomfortable for about 2 weeks but put lots of sorbolene cream on it. I finished radio on 28/6/16 and so far all ok the only thing is I have a little tenderness under the armpit and this is because I had a lumpectomy and they said I need to message cause the fluid is slow to move because of scar. Yes there may be complications later on but I really didn't have a chance. I finished AC chemo in February had CT scan showed all clear, had op on 1/4/16 and started rads end of May.
