@a24, I added your question to the Breast Cancer support group to connect with others who have had radiation for invasive ductal cancer and who live with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). I'm tagging fellow members like @rbarber100 @brightside21 who have ME/CFS and have had treatments for breast cancer.

@a24, I assume you have since completed your radiation treatment. How are you managing?

@colleenyoung Radiologist oncologist agreed to a 5-day radiation course stretched over two weeks time to help manage the fatigue. It is actually "Photon" radiation (I didn't realize this until after I had made the initial post). Not sure if I can change the wording in my original question or not. I had my fifth and final dose yesterday, 7/31 and am quite fatigued. Rest helps, but still no endurance to do much.
