Hi friend,
Today, we delve into the world of radiotherapy and explore its potential side effects.
The majority of people tolerate radiotherapy well. However, like with most clinical treatments, there can be potential side effects.
Short-term side effects of radiotherapy may include skin reactions, fatigue, and breast changes.

Whilst long term side effects can range from changes in breast appearance, lymphoedema, and nerve damage, to rare risks such as angiosarcoma.
In this episode, I cover all things related to this type of treatment.
Radiotherapy can have its challenges, but modern techniques have minimised many of these issues. Remember, communication with your healthcare team is key.
Hope you enjoy the episode.
PS, if you want to learn more about how exercise can be beneficial in combating fatigue around breast cancer treatment, then I recommend you listen to this episode with Sarah Newman.
