Angiosarcoma of the breast caused by previous breast radiation

Posted by lee08 @lee08, Feb 28, 2023

I have recently been diagnosed with an angiosarcoma in my breast. The doctors say it was probably caused by previous radiation of that breast following a lumpectomy about 6 years ago. They tell me it is extremely rare. Has anyone had any experience with this kind of breast cancer?

I was recently diagnosed with an atypical vascular lesion on the far outside of my breast. This is in the region of radiation that I had in 2018 after chemo and surgery. My pathology report stated a excisional biopsy was needed to exam for possible angiosarcoma. I'm losing my mi d, while trying not to at the same time. Was yours post radiation? If so, what is your treatment? Any support from you or anyone that has gone through this is so greatly appreciated.

@gr8t3phul75, the waiting is soooo hard,. Have you gotten the results of the biopsy in the meantime? What did you find out? Next steps?
