Hello and thanks for your post
Hair loss from radiotherapy happens only on the part of your body being treated. This is not the same as hair loss from chemotherapy, which happens all over your body.
As you are not having radiotherapy to your head area then it should be fine to colour your hair before and after radiotherapy. However, you may find that your skin may be more sensitive, so it's always best to do a patch test first and leave it for a while to see if you develop any skin reactions.
I hope this is of some help.
Kind regards,
