Radiation treatment is such a drastic thing that I'm sure that it affects every part of the body in touches, even vertebral disc material. After all radiation treatment is designed to kill cancerous tissue in the body. Any other tissues affected by the radiation will not as strong but I'm sure they are noticeable in the least. The good news is, according to a friend who has undergone radiation and chemo-therapy is that the body can recover completley. If the discs in the neck have been affected they can probably also recover so long as they are not injured to the point that the disc has been physically changed.

Radiation treatment is not a known cause of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) or multiple sclerosis (MS). PKD is primarily a genetic disorder, while MS is an autoimmune condition with complex and not fully understood causes.

Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized information regarding treatment risks.
