Potential Side Effects from Radiation for Liver Cancer
By Staywell Custom Communications
These are some of the most common side effects of radiation for liver cancer:
diarrhea
tiredness and fatigue
nausea
dry or irritated skin
These side effects often go away when treatment ends. Medication can help many of the side effects. Getting radiation at the same time can worsen the side effects of chemotherapy.
If your whole liver is treated, you may develop radiation hepatitis. This liver injury is caused by radiation to normal parts of the liver.
