According to this research LDN low dose naltrexone might help. I don't know enough or have any experience to recommend it.
I found post cancer treatment to be non-existant.
I don't expect a GP to know anything about radiation effect or LDN which is also used for pain. You might fare better seeing a pain specialist, getting a trial of LDN for pain and then see if it helps the fatigue.

Hi
Well thks for the info but where i live it wouldn't even be a consideration. My oncologist doesn't seem to give a crap. He will not prescribe anything because I was referred back to him by my radiologist in another city where I had to go for treatment. He will only follow up on my mammogram. It's one frustrating time.
