Prone position mapping for left breast.

It’s exhausting enough to have to go through cancer without having to do one’s own research for the nest treatment all the time. A friend of mine recently got AML they said it was from the radiation, how scary is that? I guess that’s why we get blood tests all the time? No one ever mentioned that to me in the past. My mother had liver cancer never smoked or drank alcohol I believe it was from the medication they gave her. No one else in my family has had cancer and I got uterus, recurrence of the vaginal cuff and breast. Radiation twice, I thought radiation was a better alternative than chemo but it certainly makes one think? It’s so tiring being so proactive. My husband also has had three cancers it’s like a full time job keeping track of our cancers.

Hi! Jeana: Thanks for sharing! But this is shocking discovery indeed!

I can't imagine how your friend reacted when her specialist told her that she got AML from the radiation treatments she'd received for fighting with another cancer, but my heart simply aches for her and us all! How much time had passed in between her radiation treatments and the discovery of the sad news that she got to fight with AML? Months?"!! Years?? I was told we have to go through months of radiation treatments to prevent recurrence of BC, but if it indeed cause AML in the future, all bets are off for me!
