What Are The Long Term Side Effects Of Radiation Therapy?
My son is having focused radiation on an area of his brain where he had a brain tumor 10 years ago. This is the second radiation he has had. He is 37. My question is what side effects he could have longterm. I did not want him to have this but the doctors thought some tissue had moved and felt it was a good option now.
