Shortness of Breath

Posted by brb5306 @brb5306, 1 day ago

After completing hypofractionated radiation 7 weeks ago I’ve developed slight anemia probably radiation induced bone marrow suppression according to my urologist. I now have little stamina & get short winded easily. Has anyone else experienced such symptoms?

I did not have hormone blocker medication. I thought I was over the radiation fatigue. I had returned to the gym & was doing great then bam - this hits. Radiation cystitis has returned also.

Yes, it’s more common than they advertise. My first bloodwork showed marked decrease in ALL bone marrow cells, low hematocrit, anemia, etc.
Eight months out from 25 radiation tx, I still feel weak and tired. I push myself but still need naps and early beddy byes. Next bloodwork in about 6 weeks so I will know more then… probably just getting old!!
