WBR and Duration of Side Effects
Hello,
For those of you that have completed Whole Brain Radiation, could you please post regarding the types of side effects you've experienced and how long they have lasted?
I'm wondering what sorts of things appear to be long-lasting and what subsides after a few months. I'm specifically wondering about fatigue, sense of taste, sensitivity to smells, nausea, ringing in ears.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Regards,
Amy
