The major side effect of radiation is fatigue -- like really, really, really tired. This is something you need to consider if you are planning on how much time you will need to take off work. Our RO warned us about that. The fatigue continues for two or three weeks at least post Tx. Hopefully your employer is flexible and will allow you more time if the need should arise.
