I just completed 5 sessions of eye radiation this week in Toronto. It was fairly simple however after radiation comes the side effects so I will wait and see. I will have a followup brain and eye MRI in March.

Dear Charity,
It was so very good to hear from you again and to receive your very thoughtful update on the completion of your radiation treatments for your retinal tumor. What kind of side effects are to be expected for radiation to this part of your body? Prayerfully, you will have minimal negative side effects, and the radiation treatments will successfully completely kill the tumor. We will be anxiously awaiting the update on the results of your March scans, and will continue to hold you very close in our hearts, our most caring thoughts, and our very special prayers.
With special caring and continued Hope,
Bonni Hess

Greetings

I am not sure what the side effects are. They differ for everyone. Fatigue is the usual one which I can handle, I am most concerned about my vision and making sure the growth of the tumour stops.
