Radiated breast

[mimosa412]

Hello everyone. I had my left breast radiated and am in the process of reconstruction. I keep being told that due to the radiation it is very difficult to have a successful exchange. I am struggling with tissue damage and they put an expander back in because the exchange failed. The skin in my armpit was too thin and was leaking lymphatic fluid. Now I am in the process of getting fills again after a flap surgery to replace the underarm skin. Last time I went they removed 70cc of serous fluid to put in 90cc in the actual tempory implant. Not sure why I keep producing so much fluid. Can anyone share their experience with reconstruction and radiated breast? Fluid collection, etc. Thanks in advance, I feel like this process is eternal!
