I think the biggest concern for breast shrinkage after radiation is when they do whole breast radiation. I had partial breast radiation - and my breast is actually larger. I don’t have an accurate answer for why - I thought that there was still a possibility that there might be shrinkage at my 1 year check. They are also watching an enlarged axillary lymph node on the same side, so I thought there might still be upcoming surgery.
I’m coming up to my 18 month check, and I plan to get specific answers as to what the expectation is now.
