Fatigue after radiation

I think it can take a while, especially given all of the other stressors in your life. Without going into detail, I had a lot of stress in my life before during and after radiation as well. My cancer was similar to yours, but I was stage 1A. I would say it took me at least a good 7 to 8 months before I was back to my old self. Recovery will be different for everybody - there are those who snap right back and others, like us, who need more time. Go easy on yourself. Listen to your body. It’s essential to take the time to rest when you need it, even if it’s just a 20-30 minute nap. Put yourself first if you can, and be patient with yourself — you’ll eventually get to where you want to be. Sending you strength! Good luck!

Hi
I wish the hospitals would tell you about the effects of radiation and have support systems. The radiologist told me 3 weeks you will be a little tired that's b.s. obviously he has never had radiation. Then there's your family and friends . Mine don't get it at all. It's frustrating. Thanks for sharing
