Hi Lovelife,

Thank you for posting and I am very sorry to read about your diagnosis and the symptoms that you are experiencing after finishing radiotherapy.  The changes that you are describing can occur after treatment but we would suggest getting in touch with the radiation nurse to discuss.  I have attached general information here about side effects after radiation that you may find helpful.  Please don’t hesitate to call our support line on 1800 200 700 to speak with a cancer nurse for any advice or support.

Kind regards,

Cancer nurse.
