Hi all
Just wondering if anyone here has experience of having radiotherapy with connective tissue disease.
I have been told that there are contraindications and from reading papers it seems these are fybromas, bad scarring and triggering flare up of disease.
I have stage 2 invastive breast cancer, have had a mastectomy but sentinel lymph node has cancer cells. Being offered choice between axillary node clearance or radiotherapy.
Am feeling nervous about radiotherapy due to contraindications but also recognise that this minimises risk of lymphodema and arm complications.
It's my dominant arm.
If anyone has experience of this would be great to hear your story.
Many thanks
