Long Term Radiation Side Effects 10+ years After?
Comments

When I was 49 and already in menopause, I was diagnosed with grade 1 stage 1 IDC with dcis. The tumor was approximately one cm. I'm now 63 years old. I refused radiation and hormonal therapy. I had no other treatment except a wide margin lumpectomy and biopsy track removal. I've never had a reoccurrence.

the thing about cancer is that there is
always a chance for metastasis, even after treatment.
Cancer travels via the blood , which is called metastasis
Sometimes you can reduce the amount of cancer cells
in your blood with antioxidants.
Right now, in my opinion
Vitamin C and E should be your best friends
there are also many more you can take

I had radiation treatment 27 years ago! Today I'm having pain in my ribs and they are also enlarged! My breast shrink a lot! I have pain everyday with my ribs and breast! So letting you know after 27 years I hurt more than ever! The really bad part of all of this I was diagnosed wrong! After all the radiation and kolbolt treatment I had they called and said oh great news you don't have breast cancer after all! The pathologist screwed up!Like that should make me feel better! So 27 years later I'm suffering because of his big mistake! So ladies be sure to get a second opinion and I would not keep my breast I would have a mastectomy!0

I was diagnosed with breast cancer 28 years ago had 34 radiation treatments then found out they made a mistake didn't have cancer after all..now today I have all kinds of problems because of the radiation treatments..ribs growing they hurt alot my breast shrink to nothing..have thyroid nodules on that side i had radiation! I got staff infection and it was on the side of radiation I had was in Hospital over 5 days very sick! They say my liver is in enlarged.. So I tell everyone to get second opinion if you are diagnosed with breast cancer! Be careful about the radiation treatments also

Raebrewster1971, that is such a terrible story, and we're so sorry for all you have gone through. So appreciate that you are helping people advocate for second opinions.
