Would low o2 saturation levels at night below 90 for 2 to 3 hours with cpap result from breast cancer radiation ? normal lung function , chest x-ray

Probably not: Radiation damage to the lung can be detected functionally on pulmonary function tests. If your pulmonary function tests are completely normal, it would be unlikely that radiation lung damage was the cause of the fall in 02 saturation.
