Wow! No wonder I was so scared prior to my radiation. I was 50 at the time so was middle of the road. I have recently had to undergo more radiation therapy at age 54. I did not know the information that you gave. I have two daughters and a granddaughter (aged 3). My friend had intensive radiation nearly 5 years ago and is now being treated for heart cancer (cancer in ther pericardium). She has suffered severy chest wall pain since her radiation. Very interesting information that I will put in my memory bank - if there is any good grey matter left after my chemo finishes.XLeonie
