Welcome to Connect, @jgreg1954 I'm tagging @allisonsnow who also has experience with phrenic nerve issues, not from radiation but rather from a tumor.

JGreg, it must be scary to have your diaphragm paralyzed and decreasing lung capacity. Are there lung or breathing exercises that might help like those that people with lung conditions do?

There is nothing scarier than when you cannot take in a breath or breathe. All the treatments and exercises in the world do not help when you cannot breathe The more you try to breathe, the more paralyzed you become. It is beyond scary.

My Diaphram is not working on my left side . How do Doctor’s test the Phrenic nerve ?
