About this booklet

This booklet explains the possible side effects from radiotherapy. You can learn about what will happen to your body when you have radiotherapy.

 

If you are worried about your health, you should talk to a doctor or a nurse.

 

We want everyone affected by cancer to feel our information is written for them. To do this we use plain English and we try to make it accessible and relevant to the widest range of people. Read more about how we produce our information.
