Radiation therapy and fatigue
Hi all, I am just about finished chemotherapy (TCH) that the surgeon has said has shrunk my tumour significantly so great news! I have surgery at end of February and then in mid to late March will ...
I finished radiation on the 2nd January. The first few weeks I thought it was a "non event" with nothing much happening other than some red skin. Then everything happened in the last 8 sessions (over Christmas): tiredness and radiation burns that required pain killers and gel with cling wrap. I'm a fairly active person and worked the whole way through radiation, but when the tiredness hit in those last 8 sessions, honestly I couldn't keep my eyes open. Its now two weeks after radiation and I'm fairly active again and no longer tired during the day.
