  • It's probably from the radiation.I had a lumpectomy and radio. back in 2003 and I had discomfort for many years.I couldn't lie on the affected side and didn't like it touched - basically just there to fill my bra.Probably improved after 5yrs.The cancer came back(7yrs later)so now it's off.From a psycological and sexual point of view,it's better to have an uncomfortable breast than no breast  at all.
