I saw a CLT this past week and mentioned that I'd been looking through loads of videos online for guidance, and that I had found someone good. The therapist said, "well, you need to be careful about stuff you find on YT, but I'll show you one that's a good reference:" She pulled up your video. "Yeah, that's her," I said.
@@CancerRehabPT I have stage four non-small cell lung cancer and I was on immunotherapy and it was attacking the Dino gland and my upper kidneys so they stopped the treatment and now I’m going to get radiated. Am I going to lose my hair and thank you for your video🌹 and I’m very old, so I could just wear a wig if I do😹
So happy that I've found your channel. A year out from breast cancer radiation with previous reconstruction. The fibrosis is unreal. I've been through PT with a lymphedema specialist and it was an improvement to range of motion. Can dry brushing help with fibrosis? Will it help to soften/loosen up the hard tissue? Searching everywhere for even the slightest hope of relief.
Yes, this. I understand that fibrosis keeps marching on, so it's important to find a way to arrest or reverse it. Dr. Berg, DC, has a video where he recommends a particular type of Vitamin E. I've also read that dopamine is important, too. I'm searching for someone I love, and that's what I've found.
Mam I am from Pakistan, Nice to listen you. My daughter 17.6 is suffering from Soft Tissue Mass on Lower Limb Right Thigh Knee Back (4" over Knee Joint). Cyst is removed by Ortho Surgeon. After 4 months it reoccurred & In Shifa Int Hospital its repeat surgery was done by a Expert Surgeon. Oncologist advised 33 sessions Radiation, I am worried her Bone or Physique may not be effected. What are the precautionary measures we may prepare & How can she prevent post radio effects? Necessary guidance is requested please? Stay Blessed
The doctors don’t tell you, you can have side effects years, yes year later. Your skin where you had the radiation is extremely thin, which can cause many problems. That skin will never be the same as it was before. A long term plan to treat this area is important.
Long term side effects may vary depending on where your radiation treatment is. My oncologist has been really clear with me about the likelihood of each possible side effect and when it is likely to occur. I am having radiotherapy on my brain so my long term side effects include possible strokes, diabetes, reduced vision and memory loss. Whilst everyone experiences cognitive impairments as they age mine could start earlier. But I don't think any of these side effects are something to worry about if you were having treatment elsewhere in the body. I believe there is a slightly increased risk of a secondary tumour developing (i.e. not related to the original tumour). Rarely short term side effects like hair loss and skin changes can be permanent. Your doctor should go through it all with you because it is unique to each person. And of course you can ask questions if you aren't sure.
The only side effect it gave me is it stopped my right side 5 years later hand leg and face, spasticity as I took it to the head, no one has any idea ( my doctors) 5 years can’t work go out bang into wall trip on my own feet, no socializing sudden fear of climbing down or up. Life is miserable 😩

😊 I appreciate you both!
I just finished 4 sessions for lung cancer and I wonder if I will have symptoms, i hope not
Decades later my skin under my armpit developed cancer I figure from radiation 27 yrs.before.
How long does it have to pass to start manual lymph drainage after radiation therapy? Or it's safe to begin even during radiation therapy?
Your expertise and KINDNESS are invaluable. I really appreciate the knowledge and encouragement you SO generously share. THANK YOU :)
I’m so happy to help! Thank you for the kind words

Very helpful video.
Are there any long term side effects of radiation, other than scarring or scar tissue buildup and stiffening of the muscles?
Yes! I have the worst pain

I’ve completed day 4 - nausea and extreme pain in my legs!! I can’t sleep, sit etc!! I don’t think I can continue
Thank you, waiting on the beginning of radiation therapy.
Sending you my best!
I am too. Surgery is on Tuesday and then radiation
Can you please...do video on fdg mediation which is used before pet ct scan
Is diarrhea one symptoms of radiation therapy, because i'm suffering from diarrhea, swelling abdominal, fatigue
Apparently, this video is not mentioning Radiation Disease, which can be very, very nasty!
Yes yes and yes! And it never goes away 😞

I just discovered your videos and there are so helpful! Thanks
You’re welcome! I’m glad you have found them helpful 😊
would you speak about Meliplex dressings during proton rads....
How can you moisturizer your head if we get brain radiation?
🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I have a AnaOno Bra. It works wonders.
Yes it is. But it will eventually stop
How do you find lymphedema doctors and physical therapists?
Your oncologist will refer you to them. They should honor your requests for other care and get you with the right physician
