Any diet restrictions with radiation? What were your side effects?

Fire away any questions you have, but, my radiation was salvage radiation, so, I'm guessing less of a dose. I did still have fatigue as suggested by @spryguy but mostly during the last 10 or so visits then a couple weeks after.
I'd get zapped around 9, go tot the gym for a couple hours, eat lunch and out like light for an hour or so! 39 visits seems like a lot from this end, but, for me, it went by fairly quickly.
