Radiation kills the targeted cancerous cells.
Cancer cells are like any other cells except they’re well, cancerous, and can produce other cells to become cancerous. Radiation treatments kill cancer cells. But, radiation kills some excellent cells too, which is why some radiation patients lose hair, etc. But in the long run, radiation will get rid of the cancer and hopefully ease some of her pain.
“Radiation, which is also used to treat cancer, can be very helpful in alleviating cancer pain in some circumstances. It can be used to reduce the size of some tumors which, in turn, takes pressure off organs and nerves that the tumor touches. It can also be used to treat the pain of cancer that has spread to the bones, the brain, blood vessels, nerves and spine.
Treatment with radiation is done by specialists called radiation oncologists, who will establish the measured quantity of radiation needed and oversee the treatment itself. In some instances, radiation is performed by implantation, when radioactive material is positioned surrounded by the body for a period of time, during which it kills cancer cells. “
Radiation therapy does not ease pain, it treats the cancer.(radiation therapy can in its self be painful) It kills the cancer cells but at the same time kills excellent cells too. Its hard on the patient but necessary to get rid of the cancer. The doctor will give other meds to treat the pain.
Radiation doesn’t ease the pain. It does help stop the cancer cells from multiplying. Radiation can produce skin burns, like a deep sunburn, which can hurt and you skin can blister and peel.
