Hi Angie, I had 33 radiotherapy sessions after finishing treatment. For me, the fatigue really kicked in after I finished the radio. Not sure if that's because I finished on 19/12/14and had Christmas and straight after on 07/01/15 my eldest sons 21st. I found my skin started to breakdown when I had only 3 treatments to go. Fortunately, I was able to keep going and didn't have to put off having any of the treatments as I was determined to finish by the Christmas. I still struggle with fatigue now and I finished all treatments 10 months ago now but it is getting better. I was tired before I started radio as I had a very difficult time with chemo. I also went back to work 4 days a week at this time too. I used QV cream 3 times a day every day and then when my skin started to breakdown the radiotherapy nurse dressed my breast daily. Good luck with the rest of your treatments. Karen xox
