Hair loss
Hair loss will probably be the first side-effect you experience. It occurs about two weeks after you begin radiation therapy. Hair loss is usually over the area being treated, but some people lose all of their hair. Hair loss is sudden, and it usually falls out in clumps over a short period of time. This can be very upsetting unless you are prepared for it. Hair loss is usually temporary your radiation oncologist can advise you about this. Your hair will begin to grow back within weeks to months following therapy, but the new growth might not be the same texture or color as your original hair. Permanent hair loss over the area being treated can occur with higher doses of radiation.
