Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in the body. Though cells division and growth is but natural, however, in case of cancer, they start growing exponentially. Hence, these cancer cells need to be destroyed. Radiotherapy weakens the capacity of these cells to multiply by destroying their DNA. The purpose is to destroy only those cells that are growing abnormally.
Radiotherapy is not painful. You will not feel the radiation at all when undergoing radiotherapy.
The general answer is no- you will not be radioactive. This is because most of the
cancer patients get external beam radiation therapy i.e., here, the source of the
radiation is outside the patient’s body making you non-radioactive after receiving
the radiotherapy treatment.
However, internal radiotherapy implies that the radiation source is put inside the
body. Sometimes, a patient may even have to swallow radioactive iodine. With
good amount of liquid intake, this iodine gets flushed out quickly. But just to be on
the safer side, you should practice caution while receiving such therapy. Your
oncologist will give you the needed advice.
Although the general perception is that people lose their hair during radiotherapy, this is not the case with all types of radiotherapy treatments. You lose hair only if the cancerous growth is on your hairy parts, provided that you are getting radiotherapy treatment on those parts.
In most cases, it does.
In some cases, the cancer metastasizes, i.e., unbeknownst to the doctors, the
cancerous cells move to the other parts of the body. Unfortunately, it is not easy
to know if the cancer has begun to affect those parts until there is a visible
growth. Hence, it is important to get yourself regularly checked even after the
radiotherapy treatment is over.
Radiotherapy doesn’t immediately kill cancer cells. It weakens them so that they
stop growing and eventually die. It may take a few weeks or months, long after
the radiotherapy treatment has ended. The dead cells are broken down and
discarded automatically by your body.
In most cases, cancer can be cured with radiotherapy but depending upon the
cancer, additional measures may be required to completely remove the cancerous
cells from the body.
