PM and cancere radiation

I may have to have radiation to my chest, and was wondering if any one here is a cancer survivor and undergone radiation to the area of the pacemaker. I am concerned the PM may burn out, short circuit, or something worse, during or because of the treatments

Other members have had radiation, was hoping one of them would see this and reply! Have you tried searching the older posts?

Good luck!

Sorry about the radiation. I had radiation 4 years ago and it can't be confirmed but that is problem what damaged my heart timing causing me to have pace maker. I have had my PM for 2 months now. I would ask your doctor about the radiation. My radiation caused extreme fatigue for over a year! Hang in there!!
