Best of luck with your upcoming radiation. There’s a few more videos in my Radiation playlist that may be helpful (Prep/Tips) - ruclips.net/p/PLALVgJH_Qhhijz2aNG81IkpvorblbIgog&si=WLZvmDnpmdEuSCjr.
Thanks for this information! This is exactly what I am experiencing. I didn't know the name (Radiation Fibrosis) or what caused it. None of my doctor's (Oncologist, Radiologist or Surgeon) explained that this is condition is a potential side effect of Radiation or a thing I should look out for. I'm in constant pain and didn't know why or the cause. Now I know what it is and have a solution thanks to you. I will try this. Please keep doing what you're doing!
Yeah, I didn’t know much about this side effect either. There’s a few other videos in the radiation playlist that would be good to check out (Radiation fibrosis 101 and self-massage).
Hey! Just wanted to say you have been an insane help for my mom. She’s been through 4 breast cancer reconstruction surgeries and hopefully 1 more. She’s always watching you and learning from your videos and I just wanted to say thank you for everything. She has lots of worries and questions about her up coming surgery and overall comeback from this. Would you be open to maybe hopping on a zoom/phone call sometime and talking with her sometime soon?
So glad to hear your Mom is finding the info so helpful! That's a lot of reconstuction surgeries she's had to endure so far…likely taxing both physically and mentally. I work as a Chiropractor but book a limited number of consultations each month for a fee. If this is something your mom is interested in you can email me to set it up. (on RUclips desktop - click the > button under the name, subscribers and videos amount and the about section will pop up). If not, encourage your mom to keep at it and wishing her well if she does one more surgery!
Hello dear, I wanted to know does radiation fibrosis can cause tightness in arm from wrist till inner upper arm.? And can cupping help to release the tightness in my arm
You’ll only get radiation fibrosis in the areas that you had radiated (remember where your burns were). Have a look at the video on cording treatment and cupping for cording for tightness down your arm.
It can feel like that. There can also be overlap with other side effects like lymphedema, which can also result in swelling in the same area and general myofascial pain (trigger points in muscles). I had all of this.
Thanks so much. What tests should be ordered for me? I saw internist who only ordered an xray with negative results. Now an APRN for a breast oncology surgeon has ordered an Ultrasound only for my chest but could not order other tests pending results will refer me to another specialist???!!! It has been 14 years since my bilateral mastectomy ( CA only in Rt breast and lymph node in Rt armpit. ) So what specialist should I see and what tests should be ordered? ( if CAT scan I can’t have contrast as in 3rd stage CKD) . Thanks so much!
Many of these symptoms don’t show up on imaging. Seeing a practitioner (physio, lymphatic massage therapist) who has experience with cancer patients will be the most helpful to address this. It’s always good to check with your medical team as well as you’re doing.
This is exactly what I’m experiencing right now… radiation fibrosis I’m 3 months after radio. Tension is bad… Cupping helped me with cording , I did it as suggested on your video . Thanks 🙏 Will try it again . Just one thing- I have mastectomy, no implants, no reconstruction yet. Do you think I can do cupping directly on scar line?
I hear you with the tension! If I were you I would do cupping on your scar line. I would also do self-massage for all the areas - not sure if you watched that video yet (Self-massage for Radiation Fibrosis).

Does it feel like areas of swelling or lump over different areas of the rib cage?
It can feel like that. There can also be overlap with other side effects like lymphedema, which can also result in swelling in the same area and general myofascial pain (trigger points in muscles). I had all of this.
