hi there; i had lumpectomy and radiation therapy and i did find the fatigue with this treatment peaked in week 5 and then the last week--good news is dont get too worried as in my case it lifted within a week which was lovely. my skin did get red and bit angry looking and again i wouldnt worry too much --i started seeing the nurse on the unit --and i did get a tear which looked huge but healed overnight--reminds me that body is amazing--however this occured in the last 2 weeks so i had daily nursing to change bandage--they would clean, apply solugel which i think everyone should now have it at home--and there was no pain--occasionally there is some --and not itcy etc; bandages were lovely and i applied solugel a few times a day--just took supplies with me as i was mainly at work etc--so dont worry too much; my treatment was all low intervention but nurses will jump in when needed --including creating a vest for me to wear at night to keep bandages on --very cute. and after treatment it all just came good pretty quickly
best wishes
