I had the radiation treatment on my lung, maybe I was lucky, but had no side effects except being very tired and sleeping to much for the next two days. By the way, I'm 76.

Thanks for that feedback do all the treatments make you tired radiation and chemo? He kind of started at an energy deficit-they found the cancer because he went in with pneumonia that after 3 rounds of antibiotics wouldn’t clear up and they did a bronchoscopy (this was all a blessing in disguise) but he hasn’t even had the chance to ‘come back’ from that he’s been wiped out ever since:( we realize this whole process is going to be exhausting to say the least but I’m trying to figure out ways to combat his lack of energy!
