Yes! I can speak about side effects of Radiation. I had 20 fractions of Tomotherapy. Not everyone has side effects, it's just that I did. After about 15 sessions of RT, I started having some side effects, primarily issues with urine. The side effects peaked around a week after completion of my radiation and continued for about 5 weeks, basically a lot of pain and burning during peeing, constriction, tremendous urgency at time leading to incontinence on a couple of instances, dribbling (at times I would take 15-20 minutes to feel satisfied after peeing). At its worst it was bad, but then I knew it would pass, which it did. I had my last shot of RT on 19th Feb and today I am feeling good. Constriction, dribbling and the issue of incomplete voiding seems much better that pre-radiation. But not everyone has side effects.
