Yes, things will not get much worse. You just had your reactions earlier than most.
All will be OK, ask for MORPHINE, or anything that will help ease the pain. Your radiation oncologist should have already prescribed such medications but he/she probably did not expect these reactions so early. Don't be scared we've all been through it.
