First meeting with Rheumatologist for PMR, need suggestions

Hi John,
another question. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had surgery this past Monday and found out it was positive yesterday. They removed it successfully. I don't think I need radiation at this time but wondering what the effects might be on my PMR if I had to go that route? Perhaps I should pose this as a separate question on this site?

Hi Jill @jillsteindler, I'm so glad to hear the breast cancer surgery was successful. I know it can't easy when you have the PMR active and have other conditions to deal with. Hoping you won't need to have the radiation treatments. There are a lot of active members in the Breast Cancer group and you might want to browse through the list of discussions for other related questions you might have:

I wonder if your rheumatologist might have any information on possible effects of radiation treatments on PMR?
