Hi - Radiation often makes the breast develop hard patches - a friend of mine likened the feeling to "a bagel that's been microwaved too long." Do have her ask her radiation oncologist about this when she sees him/her; or have her ask the techs about it, if she's not going to see the radiation oncologist for awhile. Good luck - PJH
