I have NOT had these issues. However, I need to know if any of you have had radialogy of LLL (small lession) but cancer is also in the mediatenum. I doing OK w/chemo and immuno. After Dr. did not remove the LLL tumor, I continue w/above mentioned treatments, which I tolerate well. Returned to oncologist, went for second opinion re: radiation, both told me NO. They believed the treatment would cause serious scarring which could cause breathing problems. So has anyone had this radiation and had issues w/scarring and breathing problems? Thanks for any info. you can provide. rlf66

I had my second opinion on doing radiology to my LLL. Both radiologists concurred that I should NOT have the radiology on LLL because my cancer had already metastazide to mediastenum. Plus they believed radiology would cause breathing problems due to the scarring left from the radiation. They both stated that if chemo and immuno appear to be working it just keep that going. Has anyone had a similar answer about radiology causing breathing problems due to scarring caused by the radialogy. Kindly, share any information you can provide for me. Thanks, rlf66
