Radiation Therapy is a painless procedure, just like having an x-ray. You can't see, feel, hear or taste the radiation as you are being treated.
Different conditions call for varying amounts of radiation.
When you receive radiation treatments, you only lose the hair directly in the area being treated. If you are treated to the head, you will lose your hair, but if we treat you anywhere else, you will not lose the hair on your head. Most people do not get nauseous or vomit from these treatments with the exception of patients who need to receive treatment to their abdomen. One thing that is very important to remember is that Radiation Therapy is site-specific. Only the area that is being treated will be affected.
