Radiotherapy - post treatment.

Has anyone one out there found that drinking at least 8 pints of water every day helps to keep away the side effects of Radiotherapy?

This has been my experience so far and I am 12 days post treatment.

  • Welcome to the forum Manster.

    I'm glad to hear that drinking water everyday is helping to keep the side effects of radiotherapy at bay. We'll have our fingers crossed this continues but if you would like to find out other ways to manage side effects (if they arise) do give our cancer nurses a call. They are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040 which is free to call from a UK landline.  

    Many members have had radiotherapy for their cancers and hopefully some of them will reply soon to share their tips and experiences with you too.

    All the best,
