Talk with your doc: There are many possible side effects that can develop during and after radiation treatment. The most important thing to do is be aware of these before treatment. Ask lots of questions. Skin care, nutrition, physical activity, medications, etc... The radiation nurses are also a great source of information on general care issues.
