I finished my radiotherapy 3 weeks ago and am feeling so zonked out. Just wondered if anyone else has felt the same? I overdid it on Monday by walking too far and just feel like its really taken it out of me. I was hoping to be feeling better, not worse at this point so its a bit depressing.

Me too! Finished three weeks ago.
I find if I do exercise or walk to far I’m tired and then feel down.
I’ve decided to make sure I rest and not do too much,
I read fatigue can cause tiredness, feeling low and anxiety so hoping resting/self care will help! In fact resting right now! Xx
I’m thinking it won’t last forever xx

It’s strange how side effects can affect people differently. I finished radiotherapy a month ago and have not had any fatigue at all. I walk 2 spaniels daily, throwing and kicking a ball along the way over the fields and woods. No soreness or anything, just look suntanned on the treated breast !

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling the fatigue too, but its also reassuring to hear that its not just me! I have read that side effects peak at week 2-3 post treatment, so hopefully things will get better for both of us soon. I’ve taken the rest of the week off work which has reduced my anxiety considerably. Hope you’re looking after yourself too!
