When do you start getting energy after radiation?

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.

Re thyroid: During my yearly physical 14 months after finishing radiation, it was determined I had hypothyroidism, and will have to take lovothyroxine for the rest of my life. (They said it would not have shown up yet during my yearly, 2 months post radiation.) I had proton radiation on the right side of my neck where they they removed lymph nodes, so I'm sure it affected my thyroid. They increased my initial .50mg later to .75mg, but I have felt no affect and no increase in energy.
