Hi SRabb - have a trawl through various bio’s on here and seek out radiotherapy: some patients give a blow by blow account, others show how it went for months and years afterwards. Mine has a description and what’s happened since, and I had radical & aggressive full pelvic radiotherapy. AW
Hi SRabb , I wasn’t sure what side effects you were talking about but some (upset stomach etc) should calm down within a week or two. Other side effects can take longer or even stay for ever (radiation proctitis etc). I had 37 sessions of 2Gy RT and fatigue started to increase during treatment but went quite quickly. On my second round of just 3 sessions of 13Gy RT the tiredness started a month after I finished and lasted nearly 3 months.
I haven’t come across taste or smell being impacted, but suggest you contact your team to let them know. It may be unconnected. David
Best wishes, David
Please remember that I am not medically trained and the above are my personal views.
Nearly 3 months on, still getting tired but the other side affects have more all less stopped now, only other one I'm continually suffering with is i can't put up with getting hot in bed to point of pulling blanket over me within 30 seconds gets kicked off
