Thanks for explicating my point. One of the nice things about OCF is that people usually disagree without being disagreeable. (although I have not been a shining exemplar of that) Exercise and physical therapy has worked to significantly reduce my original horrendous radiation induced fibrosis. Other pieces of the puzzle of RIF are the concurrent subdermal adhesions that form which can indeed be broken up by exercise. I think this thread just highlights the lack of medical attention on helping patients thrive instead of just survive as I've posted in other threads. Keep the Faith Charm
