What are the physical side effects of radiation treatment?
 
 

Receiving the radiation will not be painful. Side effects vary from person to person and depend on the site being treated. The most common side effects from radiation therapy are:
• Mild fatigue.
• Skin changes.
• Uncomfortable sensations in the treated area.

Please talk to your physician or nurse if you have concerns about side effects before you begin treatment or if you have questions about managing your side effects during treatment.
