Hi Maggie; How smart you are to get information from real sources early on. I think you will find a wealth of answers at this site...I'm still reading each time I come.
Your radiation experience will definitely be in relation to the area they are treating. Did you have any node involvement?
I look forward to hearing more of your story. Speedy recovery,
Fran
