Hi
I’m going to have 3 weeks of radiotherapy. 15 sessions on left side of chest and left collarbone.
I only dread one thing - and it’s fatigue (It’s triggering my anxiety and panic disorder).
I had horrendous extreme fatigue after axillary clearance - I genuinely thought I’m on a deathbed. I couldn’t walk more than 5 meters and eating one meal took me up to 6 hours.
Is this post radiotherapy fatigue anything like this?
I live alone, I have no one to help me, and I’m not going to lie - if it’s like this I’m not sure I’m going to go through this.
Sorry for long rant
Thank you

Hello, radiotherapy can make you weary, but for the majority it is not debilitating. I had 20 sessions and had my appointment first thing in a morning, then went to work. I was weary towards the end, but it didn’t slow me down much. I recovered pretty quicky too. Hope your sessions whizz by and go smoothly. Best wishes.
