I got radiation treatment to the left side of my face and neck for diffuse large B cell non Hodgkins Lymphoma. A year later I started losing feeling on my right side and getting paralyzed on my left side because the radiation damaged my spinal cord. Now it’s been another year; I have to walk with a cane, and I can barely move my left arm. The Oncologists I’ve talked to (a neuro-Oncologist in Denver and at Sloan Kettering in New York) say Radiation damage of this magnitude rarely occurs–especially given the low dose of radiation I recieved. My paralysis is slowly getting worse. I’m wondering if there’s anyone else out there with a similar problem or if there’s any information on physical therapy for my paralysis so I can get the use of my left arm back. My treatment has consisted of steroids, blood thinners, hyperbaric oxygen, accupuncture, cranial massage, and cold lasers. These have had differing amounts of success but haven’t completely stopped the progression of my paralysis
