I am two years off the radiation table and started to have tingling of face/neck. My Dr. just told me today that it is due to a B12 deficency.My count was very low and I had to get shots of B12 daily for a week and now monthly, maybe forever.
I have read that radiation can cause nerve damage and that combined with the low count of B12 has caused what the Dr. feels will be permenent nerve damage.
Has anyone heard of or had these problems?
