What are the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy treatment and how long does it last
Hello Jimmy (JimmyO653f9c)
Welcome to the group, although I an so sorry to find you here.
Everyone has different reactions to the various treatments - some folk go through treatments without any side effects, others get many or all of them. Here's a couple of links you may find that give you the details:
Radiotherapy-for-prostate-cancer.
Chemotherapy-for-locally-advanced-prostate-cancer.
I hope this helps - Feel free to ask any questions.
Best wishes - Brian.
