Re: Would have been nice to know (left-side radiation)

Wow! This is the first I heard about holding your breath. I agree with rhondalea, this would have been nice to know. Hopefully others on this site who are planning on having radiation to the left side can benefit from rhondalea's posting.

Take Care
