Breast Changes

Again difficult to say without examining you, but things that come to mind are - change in hormones, blockage in fluid draining the breast (breast lymphedema), tumors - benign and malignant, fat necrosis, diabetic calcinosis, and other rare diseases. Best thing for you to do is seek out a breast surgeon to evaluate you.

Difficult to say without examining you. There are small specialized 'oil' glands on the areola (brown part by the nipple) that are small (~2-3 mm). In general, any mass should be evaluated by a doctor - preferably a breast surgeon to make sure it is nothing to worry about.

Hi Gwen:

There is no direct relationship between weight loss and radiation changes within the breast. Radiation changes can evolve over a period of months, and so may parallel weight loss. However, the weight loss is very likely due to something else.
