A member asked:

I just finished radiation for breast cancer metastasis in my shoulder and my reticulocytes are high (33.8 % normal is 1.5 - 16.0 %) is this from radiation? what can be done for my weakness/fatigue/breathlessness?

Think I answered this earlier but did not see that you had breast cancer. Sorry. So my answer is still the same. The radiation likely knocked your bone marrow and immune system for a loop and/or you have anemia now from it and/or radiation sickness. You team can fill you inl.
