Why is my hair starting to come out and everything tastes yucky

[loridevall68]

I just finished radiation and now im feeling side effects and a patch of my hair came out? Why is that happening

I would talk to your oncologist about the side effects as those aren't common side effects from radiation. However, just because those aren't the typical side effects, doesn't mean they don't occur. Everyone is different. On a side note, stress can cause hair to fall out. The oncologist may know what you need to do to remedy the situation.
