Re: Radiation repercussions almost 10 years later

Thanks Sarah for your reply. Sorry to hear that you have dealt also with the serious ramifications of radiation. It's so frustrating that we do what we are suppose to and yet years later we have complications by doing so. Thanks for your info. I too get short of breath when physically exerting myself and yrs ago had it checked out by a pulmonologist bit at that time tests were negative and that was that. This time around I will see a different pulmonologist and want answers as well as my cardiologist. I'd like to do whatever I can to prevent a serious problem if that's even possible.
