Sounds like you are having High Dose Brachy? Generally with any radiation tiredness can be an issue. I know Low Dose kicks in gradually but I assume High Dose is quicker. You don't mention the nature of your strenuous weekend, but I would recommend reaching out to your medical team for post op do's and don'ts to see if they conflict with your plans.

Yes, I'm having HDR. I am a musician and I have three straight days of performing, 3 hrs per day, on the weekend of my procedure. between loading in/out equipment and the performance itself, I burn a lot of energy. My medical team understands and has given me the option of moving my procedure until after my performances. Thanks for sharing!
