Does anybody have a problem with the weather has been so cold blame it on the radiation. It’s almost like you can’t catch your breath.
I'm not a fan of the cold to start with, but I can't say that I've noticed anything different since treatment.

I had my radiation in June. Also, I have so many problems Since the radiation, my eyes, my ears and now I can’t get warm.
I have had to use eye drops for dry eyes too . So many side effects of this RT. On a more positive note I am not getting the constant water blisters since June now every second day and not every day so I'm hoping they are improving.
And I live in Pittsburgh it’s been very cold it’s very weird it’s just like it takes your breath away. This would not happen to me if it wasn’t for radiation.
