I had 30Gy over 10 fractions. They told me the radiation was very precise and wouldn't affect my lungs. but I do have post radiotherapy fibrosis in the right lung. I had radiotherapy to my right chest wall, axilla and scapula and have now, I think, quite a lot of fibrosis in these areas. However, with regular stretching exercises it doesn't stop me from doing anything.

Happy thanksgiving 🦃!

How was it discovered you had the fibrosis of the lung and will there be any long-term effects?
