My left Brest has been slightly red and warmer since surgery - 1/4/18. Oncologist, breast surgeon, radiation oncologist, radiation nurse ALL assured me it was unusual but certainly not abnormal.????? Twelve months since diagnosis its still much warmer and looks extremely odd. I could not work as a pole dancer or topless waitress such is the difference. (LOL at 67 not sure its a career choice). I have lymphoma of the breast and now arm, stretch marks and orange peel look of affected breast, nipple is inverted, green looking and the aerola areas is huge. It would seem that whilst everything is new for us it is fairly NORMAL for the medical team. In that anything WE each develop is NORMAL given we have had breast cancer and the associated treatments. I also wonder what side effects come from the hormone meds we take now too...
