Hi @Lallaby I have had radiation after DMX skin sparing with implants. I had to have radiation (on my left) cause they found another tumor in my left breast and DCIS on my right. Originally I had BC IDC on the left. So far so good and this was 2 years ago. I did have the mepitel put on which saved my skin from burning. The left side is more firmer than the right side. But so far things seem to be doing ok. Let me know if you have any other questions.
