flushed face after radiation

Yes, it happened to me too. Let's not forget it is not natural to be radiated. A human body can react in so many ways. 'Not even near your face', pfff, sometimes they can be so silly. Howcome docs sometimes say 'You can feel tired but we don't know exactly why'. It affects your whole system for Pete's sake. First week of rads I didn't hold my chin up and I had a sore throat. The following it was marked on the treatment screen 'Remember to keep chin up', noone told me anything though, but I did as the computer said, voilà no more sore throat.

Radiationtreatment is not as hardcore as chemo (but we can always worry about secondary cancers), but strange side effects (although less tough than those experienced on chemo) are common with rads too. I don't have exact studies, only the words from my fellow radsisters & myself. 

I'm on day 3 of radiation and this has been happening since day 1. I thought I was having an allergic reaction to my skin are but now tonight it's still happening. I spoke to the oncologist team and they said it's no way connected to radiation. I'm at a loss... they told me maybe I was going through menopause... no symptoms at all til radiation day 1.
