I appriciate so much all the usefull info I recieve here.
I just had a stent placed in my R Carotid Artery less than
4 years after my radition. My surgeon was shocked at the
lack of plaque and the 95% blockage after only 4 years I guess
it goes with the territory. I'm just happy my wonderfull Doctors at MD Anderson noticed the problem at my yearly check-up and made me aware of it I had no symtoms at all. The Stenting procedure was painless fast and uneventfull, thanfully
So for all of you who had Radiation to the neck make sure to
keep a close eye on your Carotid Artery.
