The radiation therapy is a painless procedure with relatively less painful side effects. Before one undergoes the procedure, the doctor will explain all the required details like the various steps of the procedure, etc. It may include the following processes:

Radiation simulation: During this process, the doctor and the accompanying team will make the patient sit in the correct and comfortable position. Finding a comfortable position is vital because the patient has to lie in the same position for more than 30 minutes without any movement.

CT scans: After the simulation, the patient will undergo a CT scan and the therapy team will determine the area of the body to be treated. The radiation team will decide what type of radiation and dose is required for the patient, based on the type and stage of cancer.

The doctors use a linear accelerator to perform external beam radiation therapy. A linear accelerator is a machine that releases high-energy beams of radiation to the patient's body.

After you lie on the table, the accelerator will start moving around. It will beam radiations from a different angle. The physician, according to the need, will adjust the accelerator for the required radiation.

Each session will last for at least 10-30 minutes. During the session, the patient needs to lie down in the same position. In the case of lung or breast cancer, the patient may even be asked to hold the breath for some time.

During the procedure, the medical team is continuously at the watch, and if the patient feels any discomfort or pain should immediately alert the medical team.

Radiation therapy is a painless procedure. But once the procedure is done, you may feel some side effects like tiredness. It happens generally after a few weeks of radiation therapy. 

Once the treatment is finished, the physician provides general information about the recovery and then gives recommendations on how the patient can handle the side effects. A list of tips for better and quick recovery along with the follow-up appointments is also given to the patient at this time.

Radiation therapy helps in the treatment of different types of cancers. But it causes side effects because the non-cancerous cells or tissues are also affected by the radiation. You may experience the following complications:

• Fatigue or lethargy

• Skin problems

• Tissue inflammation

• Hair loss, urinary problems, vomiting, and diarrhea

• Hormone problems

• Recurrence of cancer because of radiation exposure
