Went to see the radiologist oncologist yesterday and the plan is to try to do proton radiation to kill any cancer cells. 6 1/2 weeks of 5 days a week. Possible side effects of weight loss headaches , fatigue and maybe other symptoms like pre surgery tumor symptoms like memory loss and confusion. hair loss on that on radiation site. Of course I am dreading it but certainly want to kill cancer cells if possible. Any advise about things I can do to minimize side effects?

I went through the 5-6 weeks of proton therapy and had no side effects except for very slight fatigue the last few days. Never lost any hair or had any facial burns or any effects at all. Only thing I notice is my hair in the front has an area which is a bit curlier than before - a nice little flip. I like it.
