Welcome to this wonderful site. The first time I had radiation I faired pretty well. (a nice brown boob to use as a party trick). I was extremely tired at the end though. I have never felt such exhaustion. Second time around I paced myself better and the exhaustion was more manageable. I did have some issues with my skin as the same area was re-radiated. All manageable though. Due to the area having double radiation I do have lymphodema which I manage as well. I live with pain and need regular lymphatic massage to assist. It is al manageable though and I love lif and don't let anything stop me from achieving what I want to do. Sure there are considerations but not limitations. Be kind to yourself is the best advice that I could give you. XLeonie
