Here is a communication and study I have come across from a Doctor, Dr. Itzhak Brook MD about radiation's short and long term side effects. There is a link that takes you to a Pdf. He has covered the subject of radiation effects very well and it is good information for our H&N group very interesting and well-covered.

Unfortunately, RADIATION TREATMENT causes short and long term side effects. There are ways of coping with each of them. Enclosed is a link to my article about the late side effects of radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. https://www.e-roj.org/upload/pdf/roj-2020-00213.pdf

The second page is a chart and it is flipped but the best way to read it is to look at the bottom and check the list of side effects. The page can be flipped if you download the article and open it in Adobe Acrobat or any other Pdf. reader you may be using, here are the instructions below--

How to rotate pages in a PDF:

  1. Open the PDF in Acrobat.
  2. Select the “Organize Pages” tool: Choose “Tools” > “Organize Pages.” Or, select “Organize Pages” from the right pane.
  3. Choose pages to rotate: ...

    See? We have already been making progress and the rate of progress is improving exponentially..

    On Jan. 12, 2023, the American Cancer Society released its annual compilation of cancer facts and trends, which reported that since its peak in 1991, cancer mortality in the U.S. has dropped 33 percent.
