Re: Radiation repercussions almost 10 years later

All very interesting. I get out of breath after much exercise. I am the only one in my yoga class that can not fold over in our class during our morning yoga salutations. I plan to see a cardiologist in June. Thank you so much for this post. It gives me courage to ask more questions about my physical limitations. 10 yeRs ago a I had a lot of radiation. No one even mentioned heart sparing. Oh well, happy to be here!
