Hello Liz, and well done with your chemo.
I waited about 28 days after last round of chemo and had my bi lateral mastectomy and then wait a further 5 weeks for radiation to start. Over her in WA Royal Perth Hospital (public patient) I went in two weeks before the start and was marked up with tiny tatoos you cannot see with the naked eye, they said it takes that long to work out treatment and to set machine up. Radiation is painless but I did not sleep for the night before and then for a few nights after the start. I am like that, anything disburse my sleep. I have now done 9 they normal do it daily Mon to Fri. I am getting tired and yeh I notice a bit of discomfort and tightness all on my left side where I am having the treatment but it's much much better than chemo. I have noticed some chemo symptons creeping back like forgetfullness, not able to hold a converation fluently, forgetting my words or what we are talking about. Hope this helps and good luck.
