The side effects from Radiation last a long time. For what I understand it can actually last for years. After my mother finished her RAD treatments she also suffered and still suffers with headaches . It was so bad that I was beginning to think that the cancer could possibly be spreading to the brain but that was not the case. A prescription of Fioricet which is for headaches helped a lot.
Good Luck
