@may2024 I had 6 weeks of radiation and I have taken 3 family members daily to radiation, two for lung cancer and one for prostrate. Overwhelmingly the one side effect we all had in common was fatigue. This is consistent with other members of our local cancer group who have had radiation. If you can, try to let yourself rest, your body will recover from this but it takes time.
Some burn is normal if you have daily treatments for weeks, but now they have some really great hydrogels for that too. I tried the aquafor they gave me but felt it made it feel worse under my bra at work all day, I did find that alcohol free aloe Vera helped and I kept mine in the fridge at home and in my lunch cooler during the day. Ahhhhh!😂😂
If you have targeted therapy this is less likely to be an issue.
Do you know yet what type of radiation you are having?

not a question that crossed my mind to ask. what are the types? what should one know about each type?
