I did not experience that and had 30 treatments . Make sure you don’t have lotion or perfume on during treatments
I just noticed towards the last couple of weeks of radiation my sense of small was like....I could smell everything really well. You have to remember my head from my right eye to past my right ear was in the radiation path. So like I'd said...toward the end of each radiation treatment during the last two weeks of it at least I would think I smelled something burning and my mind told me it was flesh. I've never smelt flesh burn so I imagine it was my mind working on me.....
