Left breast radiotherapy
Starting radiotherapy after finishing 12 chemo and still have ongoing Herceptin till Sept. As it is on my left breast, after lumpectomy bit worried about it affecting my heart beneath. Has anyone ...
I am 3 radiation treatment in for left breast cancer. I am using the snorkel method, nose clip on, snorkel in mouth, hold a button down take a deep breath in and hold, then relax and breath normally, then repeat 5 times.The lovely nurses never rush , just when you are ready.
Is a bit tricky, but the more I do it the easier it is becoming.
Would be difficult for an elderly patient, I think, but so worth it to give some clearance and the best option for no future heart issues.
hugs to all ????
