Hope your symptoms resolved LibbyA. I haven’t been on the forum for a while so only just saw this. My main issue post radiation was lymthodema which I managed well with daily massage. However, I recently had shoulder surgery on my BC side and being in a sling I haven’t been able to do the massage and am having lymthodema problems now. However, I’m also looking at the possibility that the radiation has caused RFS (radiation fibrosis syndrome) as I’ve had 3 tendons detached without any known trauma. I think there is more information needed on post radiation problems. We can’t avoid the radiation but forewarned is forearmed. Perhaps I could have changed my exercise regime had I known?
