Hi there, I am wondering if I have radiation fibrosis? After 30Gy radiation on my chest wall, armpit and scapula I am feeling quite a lot of tightness and resistance when moving my arm. I keep up my exercises as I don’t want it to get “stuck”. Also I have quite a bit of lumpiness in my armpit. Is this fibrosis or is it still cancer? I have had ct scan and ultrasound and they haven’t found anything specific,thank god, but it sounds rather vague and I wonder if anyone have had this experience. Thanks for any input🙏🤗

I remember reading scar tissue can form around where surgery was. Probable what that is. Ask your dr.
Some one told me to do stretches for the tightness, I just started . Maybe it will help. Radiation can make your breast feel different.? I have 3 more treatments. And feeling very tight. .
I really just think it is scar tissue. Fibrosis is scar tissue, it’s possible it will soften up in time. Best of luck!
