Is It Possible To Suffer From The Side Effect Of Radiation Therapy After 30 Years?
I had radiation therapy when I was 3 for a grade 2 astrocytoma. I am now 39 and find myself always getting drowsy....falling asleep sometimes at work. I have read about Somnolence Syndrome and wondered if it is possible that an adult could have this after cranial radiation some 30 years after?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, no this may not be possible to have a radiation side effect after the period of 30 years, your symptoms could be due to something else and not due to the radiation that you have taken some thirty years back hope this information helps you, have good day.
