I would like to know if there is anyone who has developed nonlactational mastitis following radiatiion for breast cancer. My surgeon says I am the first one she has ever encountered. I have been under treatment by this doctor but I am having trouble because of allergies to medication. I can only take 3 antibiotics, keflex (which I apparently have develop a resistance to, a new Rx for erthromycin (had to stop because of severe pain and nuseau) and she is refusing to give me the only one left tetracycline because she says she has never prescribed this drug before. Any suggestions??? I am at the point of total disgust...not including severe pain, redness in my breast and headaches, with fever if I do not take something for it...Thanks...Georgia Ivie, NC
