Breast Cancer, Thyroid Cancer, Heart Problems, swelling around the heart, Leukemia, Heart Attack, Saliva Glad damage. Are you trying to kill me our help me??
The truth is these are all the possible things that I have the risk of getting because of the Radiation I will be receiving for my Hodgkin's Lymphoma, whoppy for me:)
I start radiation treatment today, that I will receive 5 days a week for 4 weeks. My possible side effects while receiving treatment shouldn't extend past an irritated esophagus, causing me to possibly be on a liquid diet toward the end of my treatment AND fatigue. Hopefully, actually no I know that I am strong enough to over come this!
The other "disease, sicknesses, illness" or what ever you'd like to call them that I listed are things I will be forever at risk of developing because of the area in my body that they will be radiating. Lucky me! To help I will forever need to be monitored, having mammograms starting at the age of 30, maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, NEVER become a smoker-don't see that becoming an issue as I HATE cigarette smoke and stay fit!
Wish me luck!
