radiation / nausea and fatigue!?
hi i had lumpectomy 6th june -left breast- (grade 1 ductal carcinoma) 1 lymph node removed (hadnt spread there) 6 weeks later im having 3 weeks and 2 days radiation I know im extremely lucky ...
Hi @starsparkles
I had similar surgery tho had 3 nodes removed .... followed by radiation for 4 weeks (including booster.)
I don't recall feeling nauseous or any excess fatigue ..... I was still able to get out & kayak fish when I wanted, tho my sleep was pretty disrupted thru a variety of reasons.
Absolutely, make sure you tell your Rad Onc Specialist AND the Rad Nurses that you are not feeling well ..... they may need to reassess your regime.
Be kind to yourself .... rest up when you need to ..... take care
I hope you are feeling better soon xxx
