Undecided I was diagnosed with reoccuring breast cancer they same day I was released from the PS. I then had to have my newly reconstructed breast radiated 6 months later. The radiation has made my silicone breast really ugly. I am very unhappy with the way I look I am lopsided now from the swelling of the radiated area. I was looking for someone who has had the same type of experience. I have went back and asked ps if it could be redone and he suggested not to because of the risk of infection being so high. I don't know what do?
