Tiredness/no energy after radiation therapy
Original post created by member @cathMor moved to own thread in ‘Now what? The highs and lows of survivorship’ category:
Hi @cathMor, it’s quite normal to feel exhausted after radiation. It keeps on working for many weeks after you’ve stopped. Radiation not only kills cancer cells but also your good red blood cells in the breast so it takes a little while for your body to build them up again. Rest and take it easy- you’ll come good in a month or so. xx
