Radiation Therapy
The side effects of radiation
therapy depend on the amount of radiation given and the area being
treated. Side effects that may occur in
the treated area include red or dry skin and hair loss. Radiation therapy also may cause
fatigue. Although the side effects of
radiation therapy can be unpleasant, the doctor can usually treat or control
them. It also helps to know that, in most
cases, side effects are not permanent.
