Hi . Sorry to hear your dad is in pain after his radiotherapy. We know this can cause pain, but he needs to let his doctors know he is suffering. When I was having my radio, I had a weekly catch up with a doctor to discuss any problems. This should be dad's opportunity to talk about it. Has he been tested for any infection? Best wishes.
