I am wondering if anyone as looked into this?  I had hodgekins at age 6 and the radiation treatments caused a lot of atrophy and muscle wasting.

    Muscle Wasting

    Hi,  I had hodgkin's at age 16, and upper mantle radiation.  I am now 54, and am unable to work even a desk job because of muscle wasting.  I have signifigant muscle wasting in my neck and upper back.  I  spend a lot of time in physical therapy.  I was wondering if anyone else has such problems.
