Radiation treatment can cause intense side effects that are truly challenging to endure, and what you're experiencing sounds incredibly difficult. Many people in this community understand how overwhelming the physical pain can be during treatment, and you're not alone in facing these tough moments. Please make sure to keep your medical team informed about all your symptoms so they can provide the best support and pain management options for your situation.
