I opened the article and what all seem to be asking re side effects is

Possible Side Effects

Patients often experience little or no side effects from radiation therapy and are able to continue normal routines.

Side effects are temporary and usually limited to the area that received radiation.

Possible problems include skin irritation, difficulty or pain when swallowing, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

Talk to your doctor about any discomfort you feel. He or she may be able to provide drugs and other treatments to help.
