Guest guest Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 o one can beat me and if someone comes close to having gotten the measure of radiation to their abdomen that I did, please speak up and be my buddy. Well, my husband had radiation therapy back in '91 when he had to have a testical removed because he had testicular cancer. He had some pretty stiff amounts of radiation from his groin area all the way up to his upper chest. Can the radiation itself cause cancer? Yes, it can in years to come. He's had lots of reflux problems off and on for years. We both know it's because of the radiation causing scar tissue buildup. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else gotten the tests I > mentioned? > , Let me state that we all do what we know to do at the time. If I had known in 1990 about Dr. Lee's research about female problems, I might have been able to avoid a total hyst. Maybe or maybe not, I will never know. I could never have children, so my husband and I adopted. I don't even think Dr. Lee's book was even out then. So I did what I knew I had to do after years and years and years of being in extreme pain all the time. I found out that my mother had taken DES, so I was a DES baby. Luckily I didn't have cancer yet, only screwed up female organs. And my mother only did what she knew best at the time. She was having miscarriage after miscarriage and wanted a baby, so the doctor put her on DES to help stop the miscarriages. Don't beat yourself up. You were in pain and having illness and did what you thought was the right thing to do. Keep that in mind. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
