Well im in the middle of it; and there probably is a variety of experinces but heres mine--i thought the tiredness might come later but it arrived about 2-3 weeks into treatment and i had a week off--the fatigue is like nothing ive experienced-although a bit like skiing all day ..ive also organised two weeks off in the last two weeks of treatment and then two weeks off 6-8 weeks later. Other than that odd little 'electric shocks' that has only happened once and itchyness which the radiation dr suggested aloe vera whch has worked well. Ive also scaled back things--so lots of rest and organised a cleaner every fortnight etc so i think thats been useful. Your driving might need some support as i found ideas of even walking post treatment from the 3rd week on a bit diffiuclt--just seem to be a bit fatigued right after-which gets better but comes up again later in day.
good luck
