2 lymph nodes were removed, & there was cancer in one of them; I believe that's why the radiation. I'm almost halfway through the 30 sessions, & the initial burning has completely subsided.
After the ductectomy in 2010, I had ongoing catches in my right side muscles & rib cage despite a yoga practice; so far post mastectomy I'm doing geriatric Pilates, & am more flexible than I'd been for a while. I'm to get my first lymphatic massage in 2 weeks; looking forward to it.
