I finished radiation and began tamoxifen 5 months ago. For the past 1 1/2 months I've been treated for lymphedema of the breast and the treatment is thankfully helping. I have been experiencing fatigue too and find I need to lay down in the early afternoon or I can't function. Anyone else experience extreme fatigue? Wondering if it's still after effects of radiation or the tamoxifen or a combination

    Could be a combination of both. My oncologists both say that the extreme fatigue after radiation can last 3-6 months after you are done. Take the time and rest if you can, you have been through a tough journey and your body is recovering.
