fatigue after radiiation
fatigue after radiiation It seems strange but other than the skin reactions which were quite severe I didn’t have too many problems with radiation, 30 sessions which I completed on January 16th. My problem is just started about 2 weeks ago and I am absolutely wiped at the end of the day. I don’t know if it is lingering effects from radiation or the tamoxifen which I started as soon as I finished rads. Did anyone else have this problem?
I’ve completed 8 out of 25 so far. I have to leave home at 8.30 for a 9.30 appointment and I find I am dozing off by about 8.30 in the evening in front of the telly. I spent most of last weekend in bed and that was after only 3 sessions. The hospital told me that most people get really tired towards the end. I have a week after mines and them I’m going away for 5 days, so I hope I’m not going to be exhausted. I was on FEC before this.
Hi I had to have an afternoon nap after every radio session, but I still have to sometimes 3.5 years on, and that can only be down to Tamoxifen, as I’m otherwise fit and well!
yes as you can tell, tiredness does start to kick in, just give yourself some time and it will get better, don’t overdo things.
