Hi ,
I had my radiation 2 years ago on chest wall, (mastectomy) axilla, neck and other spots where the radio oncologist thought there were cancer! There has been a lot of ups and downs. It has caused nerve damage in my arm and hand as well as lymphodema. A couple of months ago I finally got to see a neurologist. He said there was new research showing HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen treatment) can be helpful for treating radiation fibrosis. Which I thought sounded very positive. You breath 100% oxygen under pressure, for 2 hours, 5 days a week. for up to forty sessions. I have recently returned from that treatment. I was meant to do 40 session but got increasingly more sick feeling, with pain in my gut. In the end I had to stop at 31 sessions. It has not helped my nerve damage and the other breast which has a large lump in it, has gone purply blue, like a bruise at the bottom part of it. The reason I responded to this post is that I also feel that the fibrosis has come back making me puffed out doing my regular, normal exercises. Has anyone else had experience with HBOT??
