Radiation Fibrosis Syndrome (RFS)
Hey guy’s I am curious if anyone has experienced Radiation Fibrosis Syndrome following RAD treatment. I am five years’ post treatment and everything as far as NED is great. However, I was having a lot of pain right below my clavicle on the right side for about two months. I finally saw my GP and he ordered x-rays and CT scan. The results seem to indicate that I may have RFS. My two upper ribs at the sternum look like a piece of wood that has been destroyed by termites or at least that’s what it looks like to me. I am awaiting further diagnosis from my doctor. I did have some issues with osteoradionecrosis six months post treatment and they had to remove a significant amount of bone from my right lower jaw but other than that complication its been the status quo "New Normal". Any input, suggestions and advice will be greatly apreciated.
