Have them check his thyroid again. I’ve just been put on meds-same cancer. It’s going to take at least a year or more to actually feel somewhat better. I wanted to think my body was healed after 6 months and my Dr’s all told me it wasn’t going to happen. His body has been through a tremendous amount of stress and radiation “is the gift that keeps on giving.” It gets better, but I don’t think we’ll ever be the people we once were.

I slept more the year after radiation than I think I did all my years before combined. But I would encourage you that it does get better albeit maybe not to where he was before radiation. Your husband is still early. I am now 3 years post radiation, and now 76 years old. Sometimes I have a lot of get up and go, and sometimes not. Is it age, or radiation? The best I can say from what I've heard is eat right (when he can...which takes time too), sleep when he needs to, and get exercise to the point that he can. (I'm a couch potatoe unfortunately.) Be kind to your body, and don't feel guilty. My energy returned gradually, but it took/takes time. Be kind and be patient with yourself.

I thought when I was finished with my treatments that I would go back to how I was before treatment, back to "normal". That didn't happen. I was mistaken. But it does get better little by little.
