A. The side effects of radiation treatment vary from patient to patient. You may have no side effects or only a few mild ones through the course of your treatment. The side effects that you have depend mostly on the radiation dose and the part of the body that is treated. The most common early side effects of radiation therapy are fatigue and skin changes. They can result from radiation to any treatment site. Other side effects are related to treatment of specific areas. Fortunately, most side effects will go away in time.
