Has anyone had a B12 deficiency because of radiation damage? What symptoms did you have and when did it start? I've been pretty lucky in the side effect department so far, but I've had some symptoms (several times now) that seem to improve with B12 supplements, and I know it can be a risk, so now I'm wondering. I will ask at my next appt, but I'm on 6 month appts so it will be a while.

Just figured I'd post, I just had my 4th year anniversary appointment and I'm still good. 1B2, hysterectomy, and adjuvant external radiation. We discussed the final year (I'm in Canada) and I'm happy to report to the other Canadians that worry about not having scans with a lower stage, they are going to scan before they cut me loose at 5 years, even without symptoms/concerns. So be patient, they are on it!
