Did anyone’s doctor discuss such risks? (I had whole breast radiation.)
Thanks so much for your supportive response LauraAH. All good points! Made me feel better. I hope your day is as nice as you. 😊
They are so careful where they radiate, and it is so precise. They have you hold your breath to raise breast away from your heart. I had 25 on the left with no problems.
Yes, there are risks, ask your doctor to give you the percentages.
Good luck!
Penny2, I really appreciate your answer. Thank you for the reminder to put this in perspective and redirect my attention to the positive aspect of my treatment. I hope you have a wonderful evening!
Try not to focus on things that could happen and focus on things that already has. The benefit of radiation out weight the probability of having a problem with your heart or lungs. I had 20 rounds of radiation as fter my chemo and lumpectomy. Everything turned out fine. Your doctor will keep a close eye on everything. Good luck with your journey!
