Breathing difficulty after radiation for lung cancer

I do have a scan showing a fractured rib. I have tried through my primary care physician but no response. I do have an appointment with a physical therapist who specializes in oncology patients and may get some help there. No one seems to know if this will go away so I keep trying to find someone with some experience. I can feel a snap and movement in the SRBT area.

So the cancer is currently not showing on my scans and, yes, I am happy to be alive to complain, but living in constant pain diminishes the quality of my life.

Hopefully PT can answer some questions and help you through this. Quality of life is important. Don’t feel that you are complaining, you just want to feel better. That’s perfectly acceptable and understandable.
