One question I have always wondered is whether it is possible for the effects of radiation to be reversed at all since I got radiation at such a young age (and thus my body is more able to regenerate), or if they will just be even worse for me since I have to live with them for so long. I tried to ask my ENT one time, but he kind of just said we would worry about side effects when and if they happen. Does anyone know if any studies about this?
