Thanks Colleen, thought I would get kicked out. Update from me,. Next appointments June 30, Rochester. Doing ok, being very careful and will continue to be careful. Question for those that have had radiation, sbrt, is it normal to have decreased breath capacity on the side of treatment? I'm finding stamina to be a problem.
Sure hope everyone is doing their best amidst the craziness. Find working on my yard, preparing for biggest garden in a long time is helping bunches. Also creating best dog day ever for Summitt.

@meka- Hi! Yes it's very common to have shortness of breath and fatigue. It's unfortunate that this wasn't explained to you. Your radiologist should have explained all of this to you. After 6 months when the effects peak it should get better. I was warned to be careful not to strain my lungs and if I exercised to use very light weights. Do you have any more sessions left?
