@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.

@omaest True. I was referring to the initial healing process after radiation. After two years the damage and scars are going to settle out more or less. What remains is what we learn to live with. That is still a generalization, certainly in my case as in yours.
Ten months out however is still fresh recovery with hope of improvement in the coming months.
