I saw my medical oncologist today, for my regular 3 month visit, and she referred me to a physical therapist who specializes in lymphoma to address my hand swelling and also my aching body. She wants me to stay on the hormone drug, anastrozole, which is fine with me if side effects stay manageable. That was her only suggestion. She also said radiation fibrosis was rare with six week radiation treatment; but feels there is an uptick with three week treatments (stronger dose?). Time will tell as I am thinking (right or wrong) that three week treatments are relatively new.
