Kind of like when you take food out of the microwave it still cooks for a while afterward. Sounds kind of gross, but the radiation still works for a few weeks afterword.
Then the rule of thumb around here is side effects for a time of every month per week of radiation. So if you had radiation for 6 weeks, then figure on side effects for 6 months.
You're not going crazy, all of us experience the same feelings for a while after treatment. Bob S
