@tvanhaal Ds Moines is also close to Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN. They might be able to take a look and see if something can be done to improve your situation. The effects of radiation can sometimes take two years to work itself out but I wouldn't let anything go that long without having it checked and repaired. Just my opinion of course. And welcome to Connect by the way.

@hrhwilliam The effects of radiation can last much longer than two years. My radiation was in 2003 and I am still dealing with the long term effects. The prognosis is that these effects will continue to manifest until I die. The good thing is that I was informed about the possible long term effects from day 1. Knowing what might happen has allowed me to keep a positive attitude as I continue to experience these difficulties.
