feeling exhausted

braj

I finished chemo in August and started radiotherapy 2 weeks ago. I went through emotional hell when first diagnosed and then was really positive starting treatment, just cant believe im so wiped out. Suffering anxiety and panic attacks for which im getting help, but just wondering is it normal to feel so wiped out.I would be grateful to hear from anyone else who found the radiation tough.

yep....normal.

when i was done with me first round or rodeo, i guess i had a mental breakdown. just getting through another one now.

when your in active tx, you are brave. a lot of people have breakdowns after tx, and that also makes you tired

It was the chemo that wiped me out. The burns from radiation was unpleasant. My energy level is still low. I get tired after a couple hours of house work instead of half the day.

Thank you so much for your replies I guess the treatments are just catching up on me now. I thought id feel great having got through the chemo and instead of that just felt rotten, exhausted no taste etc. I feel the radiation is ok apart from all the daily travelling up and down which is exhausting in itself. I just hope I can get back feeling to my old self shortly.
