@marilynw, I added your question to the Heart & Blood Health group as well as the Cancer: Managing Symptoms group to find more members who have had heart issues after radiation. @sosser writes about radiation induced heart disease in this related discussion:
- Radiation-Induced Heart Disease (RIHD) https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/radiation-induced-heart-disease-rihd/

Also see:

@tessa2 @annettebc @jocelynk have also talked about late effects of radiation for Hodgkin's disease and may have more to share.

Marilyn, have you made any decisions about surgery or not?

@colleenyoung ,
Thank you for adding my question to other groups and the additional information.
I'm obtaining a second opinion before I decide to have surgery or not.
