Your Oncologist is the one who can answer all of your questions and also explain how the treatment can effect other parts of your body. Please discuss these things with him/her. It is normal for the skin to be affected by the Radiation and there are creams that will help with the dryness, etc. You can get these from the Oncologist also as well as something for the pain you mention. Please contact your Oncology team and report all the concerns to them.   Kindest regards .....
