Breast Cancer - had lumpectomy and finished radiation 8 mos. ago. My question is, that I still have soreness and now pain in breast. also, have quite a bit of discloration and now huge knot that hurts when touched as well still 'crusty' around nipple.
Would this be still part of what is supposed to happen? If anyone can give me little info would be much appreciate.

Hey msdeems,

I have never had a lumpectomy though I have had a biopsy, but your symptoms sound like you may have an infection. The discharge and painful lump are indicative of something that needs to be checked by your doctor ASAP.
