My energy level dropped 2 days after last radiation. I got tired and breathless quick, my hair started falling out about the same time. And my taste buds were affected.
I gained most of my energy back by the time I started chemo. I was suprised that the first 2 days were really good.
On the 3rd day pain set in. Neuropathy in feet and finger tips, also intermitten stabing pain in various places that only lasted a few monents. Elbow ,both knees, temple and bowels. The worst was being achy from the knees to my toes

@dsteel65 The fatigue and breathlessness can be from both the radiation and chemo (double whammy). I had/have the same side effects. They will take some time to dimimish. Hang in there!
