Radiation

Just wondering what your side effects are adean? My specialist saw me today and was very comforting. She went over the numbers again and shed more light on why they think I needed it. So there is a suspicious looking lymph node in my chest and they can't operate on it. So radiation has a good chance of getting rid of any cancer cells in there that refused to succumb to chemo. The chance of recurrence goes from 15% to 5% and lymphodema from 1/8 to 1/7. So I feel much better about it all now. Thanks for your comments. If you could shed light on your radiation experiences and long term side effects that would be great. Thanks Julie
