Do you mean she will be having radiation therapy?
For most people that’s a piece of cake. First she will go through a session where they do lots of measurements and she might get a few little tattoos – freckle sized. This is the only uncomfortable part and it isn’t a big deal. The actual treatment sessions last only a few minutes.
She should take some lotion like GlaxalBase to use right after the radiation session. She will likely have some fatigue toward the end of her treatment which will run 5 to 7 weeks. It really doesn’t amount to much, mostly just the problem of getting down to the hospital daily.

I’m sure you mean radiation. It’s nothing and only lasts a few minutes each session. She will probably have chemo also if she hasn’t already started that. Hanora’s correct in all her answer as I think she’s been through it.
