@Piccme, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad.
I can imagine all you feel about finishing radiation, is "thank god that's over."
I am only just finished week 3 of 5 weeks radiation and the fatigue is creeping up.
It really takes the edge off any feelings of celebration.
I am finding the skin burn from the radiation very depressing too. I would think that I should be feeling better about it as it is much better than chemo, but the relentless travelling down every day, and skin care routine is pissing me off.
I guess by now we are just fed up with all the palaver necessary to beat this disease.
Hopefully the hair will start soon, mine is pretty short but covers my head enough for me to go bareheaded, I am 15 weeks from the last chemo, and the fatigue should slowly start to get better, then perhaps you will feel you can move forward.
Hoping you can see some sunshine in each day, Jennie
