Hi! Yes it does! I had more radiation treatments. It was 21 total. I do still feel soreness from it , but not as sore as when I got the treatment. I have to start tamoxifen since I am pre menopausal. I have been putting that off due to side effects. I work during the day , sometimes long hours and I worry about getting nausea , dizziness etc. during work. But I really just need to take it. I have heard of post radiation side effects. I am happy you are getting PT and it’s Helping! Does cording eventually go away for good? How long after radiation did it start? You are lucky that you only had 5 treatments . That’s great! I was so ready to be done with it at 21. How are you feeling with the AI they gave you? Any side effects yet?

Hi Christy,
The cording I believe was due to my surgery where it wrapped around my breast and kind of was stuck at the scar wasn’t draining so the PT therapist helped with massaging and pushing to get the draining out and popping the chords. I still have a little bit left, but not nearly as much she’s been very helpful.
I’ve read that as long as you take your medication the AI medication at the same time every day it should work. I’ve only had three doses of my anastrozole. That’s because I’m postmenopausal. Your medication is premenopausal. I’ve heard some side effects like the nausea, dizziness, and insomnia if I experience any of those, I’ve heard it’s best to take it at night because you’re sleeping those affects away so fingers crossed and yes, take the medication and, I really hope it goes well for you as well .
