cancer radiation burns?
I have known several people that have had radiation treatments for 3 different types of cancers and all three have ended up with radiation burns. Is that the norm? Does anybody go thru radiation treatment and not get burned? Can you still receive burns if you undergo cyberknife radiation on your lung?
Burns from radiation is common, but it does not happen to everyone. Some people are just more sensitive than others just as they are with sun burns. The radiation oncologist will usually prescribe a cream to help elevate the problem. It is possible to get them from Cyberknife.
