Recent 2020 research report, and one in 2017 showing Xofigo may have a much higher risk of serious side effects on bone marrow than thought!

Sixteen patients (73%) completed the full course (six doses) of Xofigo, while six did not. Ten patients (45%) developed pancytopenia

Issues with Radiation Therapy and the location of the heart
Has anyone had issues with Radiation Therapy and the location of their heart? I went for my consult and they said that I have to have my expanders reduced more than the 180cc that I had removed before my consultation. Wondering if my "assigned" radiation oncologist really knows what they are doing, since

Scores went up a little over 100 points when off ibrance for 2 weeks
Hi guys I went off ibrance for almost 3 weeks because of the need for radiation treatment to my hip and femur. I was to the point that I could not walk without assistance and was in constant pain. Now I just got my scores back (it was drawn before radiation and about 2 weeks after stopping ibrance )
