Cancer Treatments Radiation

what are the side effects of radiation treatments for cancer of the throat?
The most common side effect is nausea. Fortunately, medication can be administered to control it if need be. Although nausea as well as general fatigue are the most common, radiation therapy (RT) to treat malignancies present in the region of the neck or throat (pharynx), thyroid, larynx, etc., may bring about side effects including sore throat, changes in “taste”, thickening of the saliva and dry mouth. Also, hair loss can occur– but only within the immediate target radiation field. This is less common, but still possible.
Bear in mind that chemotherapy is often an adjunct to radiation therapy in the treatment of certain carcinomas. If that is the case, the side effects of the chemo will be more severe, including nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, profound fatigue, flu-like symptoms, pain, anemia and of course, hair loss.
Take care, and best of luck.
