Radiation and chest tightness
Hi there,
I have just completed 20 days of radiation yesterday and wondering if anyone else has had experience with chest tightness?
It is not soreness, or shooting pains or an ache in the breas...
I also completed my 20 days of radiation last week and I also have been having some chest tightness this week especially. I have seen the radiotherapy nurses this week and asked about it but they said to speak to the doctors, although apparently it seems a normal thing that can occur after radiation.I will see my doctor next week and look into this further. I spoke to another patient there at the hospital yesterday and she said that exercising and massaging helped her tightness in the chest and armpit. My concern and question to the doctor next week will be can radiation cause scarring of chest muscles and tightening.? If so, what can we do to make it better.?
Take care
