I have had many issues from the full body mantel radiation that I received in 1981 to stop Hodgkins Disease. The Survivor Clinic at the U of MN provided me with information the had regarding other items that I need to watch for in my life due to the radiation. It was terribly depressing. Unfortunately I received this after my widow maker heart attack so I had no chance to be aware. Heart attack was determined to be from a combination of radiation and stress from my extremely stressful job. None of my current doctors ever thought I was a heart attack candidate otherwise as my arteries were totally clear.

If you would like to talk, let me know. I’ve had many other obstacles from the damage too, but still here!
