Radiation

I finished Radiation about a month ago but I am still tired and I had real problems with losing skin and burns which has improved now but it is still very itchy?
Anyone else have similar experience after breast radiation.

    @slonimski. From memory it took me a couple of months to get over my initial treatment. I went from chemo to surgery then 6 weeks of radiation its a long haul. I found gradually increasing activities not diving straight back in helped. Sometimes I think we expect too much of ourselves. Steady as she goes is a pretty good description building up the strength and endurance over time.
