Hi I am due to start 21 session so of radiotherapy next week. My margins were close and near the chest wall hence radiotherapy. However I was so disheartened to find out that capsular contracture is a possibility. Have you experienced this after radiotherapy or did you manage to avoid it ?
Update: I do have capsular contracture but it is slight. My surgeon says it could still develop further. He offered to do a capsuloctomy to reduce the pressure, however the capsule will grow again in 6-9 months time. I cant bear the thought of another procedure. It is not bothering me too much at the moment.
