Dear Friend of Cancer Patient,Thank you for your correspondence and thoughtfulness for your friend.The side effects of radiation are site-specific. Therefore, I would need to know where (organ/part of the body)your friend is being treated, to accurately inform you of the side effects. Sincerely Dr. EB
