Surgery after Radiotherapy

My question...has anyone had breast surgery following radiotherapy? My surgeon is trying to put me off due to possible complications, but I know I cannot continue like this as it’s affecting my life....sleep & exercise amongst other things.My question...has anyone had breast surgery following radiotherapy?

Radiotherapy? Did you know of the ONGOING effects?

It's either inflammation or the results of radiotherapy. Me : But I had the radiotherapy well over 30 years ago . Him : Yes, but the effects are on - going. Me : Flabbergasted & speechless! My GP says that they were unaware of the long term effects 30 years ago.It's either inflammation or the results of radiotherapy. Me : But I had the radiotherapy well over 30 years ago .

What are the options if I am unable to have radiotherapy? I am also concerned that if I can have radiotherapy it may impact on both my ED and bladder control as both are working well post surgery. As ever any advice much appreciated from this wonderful forum.What are the options if I am unable to have radiotherapy?

Had chemo then surgery NED then mop up chemo then Avastin for 18 sessions. Finished Nov. 2018.Just wondered if anyone else has had radiotherapy.

Short-Term ADT Combined With Radiotherapy as Salvage Treatment After Radical Prostatectomy

Salvage radiotherapy plus ADT was associated with 120-month progression-free survival of 64% versus 49% for radiotherapy alone. •The addition of ADT to salvage radiotherapy reduces the risk of progression and death compared with radiotherapy alone.Salvage radiotherapy plus ADT was associated with 120-month progression-free survival of 64% versus 49% for radiotherapy alone. •The addition of ADT to salvage radiotherapy reduces the risk of progression and death compared with radiotherapy alone.

The impact of salvage radiotherapy

I have been referred by my surgeon to an oncologist and have been advised by them that as my PSA level is .16 I may need radiotherapy depending on next result. I am also having an investigation of my colon as I get IBS as well and radiotherapy might not be appropriate.I have been referred by my surgeon to an oncologist and have been advised by them that as my PSA level is .16 I may need radiotherapy depending on next result.
