As you know everyone is different. My radiation oncologist told me a fraction of what I have been able to gather from this forum. Keep reading the messge board everyone is very helpful and will give you support. These are the things I was told- dry mouth, sore throat, production of mucus, difficulty eating, some redness to your skin in the area of radiation. I can add to that from personal experience being tired and in my case vertigo. Please don't let the side effects scare you away from treatment. And again just keep reading the message board and post if you need help.

I believe you will get a lot more information and responses there. Private Reply Quote Reply to This Message
