In general, you can usually eat immediately after radiotherapy unless you experience discomfort or side effects that make eating difficult. However, it's best to consult with your healthcare team for personalized advice based on your specific situation. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
After radiotherapy there is generally no prohibition. If you received radioactive iodine, there is a one hour wait.
