I too had 2 lumpectomy with radiation with both.
Two years apart.
2014 and 2016.
About 5 years later had a few discolored spot on my chest. My surgeon suspected this right away. I had a full mastectomy. The doctors had a meeting and decided no treatment. I have scan every 3 months plus blood work up. It’s been a year now and nothing has showed up. Will continue with
Scans and checkups.
Also have a skin doctor
Involved. Hoping for a good outcome for you.

I am encouraged by your text. I just had a mastectomy this month of my left breast for angiosarcoma. It was caused by the radiation treatment I had after a Lumpectomy for lobular breast cancer 3 and a half years ago. The current plan is observation along with scans and blood tests. I was hoping for this kind of follow-up rather then chemo or more radiation.
Prayers you will remain cancer free.
