Oncologist, Surgical,  's  Response
In a patient of breast cancer if one of the breasts is red and swollen then it is definitely a cause for concern and your friend should immediately consult her oncologist. It could possibly mean the return of her cancer. However it may be nothing but a localised infection. This issue can only be settled by seeing an oncologist and this needs to be done asap.
