I am having a similar reaction.  Stage III breast cancer with 7 positive lymph nodes, lumpectomy, chemotherapy and just finished 5 weeks of radiation treatment and next week will only have radiation on lumpectomy site. This weekend the skin under my arm has 3 serious looking burns, one of which has peeled, is about 3 inches around, and is very painful.  My questions are:  How long will the radiation burning continue to get worse?  Will next week's radiation treatments make everything worse? or will it be limited to the area being irradiated?   The doctor has only prescribed using Panthenol spray which is not effective in pain relief so I am using aloe vera gelly which cools the area and provides some pain relief.  Will this affect the radiation of my lumpectomy site?
