Does anybody have trouble breathing like if I get winded it’s like I can’t breathe if I go for a walk and it I can’t breathe
I used to get very breathless for a time after finishing radiotherapy whenever I went for a walk. It took some time but it does not happen now. It is important to keep on walking short distances though to help build up your stamina again and assist with your recovery. Go to your medical team and ask about the breathlessness if it really worries you just to discount any other issues.

I thought it was something to do with the radiation because he didn’t happen before yes that is good advice. I am gonna keep walking and it’ll get better.
