HiI have fibromyalgia was under control until radiation treatment for breast cancer. I am 3 mths out since radiation ended. I am having crushing fatigue it hits me around 3pm everyday until 7 ish. My oncologist says I shouldn't have it now. He says i must have another issue. Hopefully getting bld work done thru him for thyroid , electrolytes, cbc , sodium. Also was taken off hrt which I took for 15yrs. Gp is useless can't get into her. Has anyone with fibro had severe fatigue after radiation?

Hi,
I e the exact same issues.
Was on HRT over 15yrs taken off because ER poss cancer then on Tamoxifen, taken off due to awful probs re vision & extreme loss of cognition. Put on Letrozole then Anastrazole.
I have pre cancer Fybro, CFS, daily migraines & osteoarthritis etc.
Like you my fatigue & all abive symptoms are massively worse. I can no longer ger manage a 15min walk daily. I've had to reduce to every 3rd day & minimise phone calls as it's affecting my haed & body fatigue so much.
Radiation due to be 5 weeks daily & so worried how I'll cope at all.
Like you from 1pm to 7pm I'm on the sofa wiped out.
I've pre cancer always paced my day & always had alternate rest days now nothing is helping.
I too have increased my protein & stopped all alcohol. Life's so hard at the mo...any advise welcome.
