Side effects radiation ?
Ive read fatigue is the main side effect of radiation ? How does the fatigue compare to that of chemo ? I’ve had ac fortnightly by 4 and now having taxol carboplatin weekly by 12 hoping it it will...
Radiotherapy made me feel very tired, but I’d just finished 6 months of chemo and was working 4 days a week. The worst side effect of radiotherapy is the thickening of the tissue under my skin which has affected reconstruction. The skin is very tight. I had 6 weeks of radiotherapy to the area around my mastectomy and the area above my collar bone. I also got quite burnt, but I think tings have improved since I had it. It’s different for everyone. It was way, way easier than chemo. All the best.
