I did the DIBH with my radiation back in 2017. Left breast cancer. Insufficient margin and lymph involvement, discovered after surgery in the biopsy of the ancillary nodes
Which were removed. Instead of going back under to take more nodes they decided to do extra radiation and wider
I was told the aim of the DIBH was to move my heart out of the way.
The hangover is my voice disappears sometimes and is scratchy. My oesophagus got injured. Never had GORD before but have it now i did complain that i always came away with the hiccups after a rad session and the dr brushed me off
the found a hiatus hernia in dec of 2017 as my GP decided at my 2 year colonoscopy to have them do a top as well as a tail
i have to say though I have mets, I am alive and as far as I’m aware my heart came away okay.
