Hi Jennifer, I take you’ve already had your radiation consult/planning session? I have just completed 4 weeks of radiation for breast cancer. The process itself was made easy by the radiation team who always made me feel comfortable. I started to feel tired the 2nd week and the tiredness increased the last week. I expected the fatigue and am still dealing with it now. The radiation causes sunburn like changes on my skin, it was itchy and darkened (I have olive skin) though I consistently moisturised and applied a burn gel given to me by the nurses. It’s important to exercise even just walking and resistance training to maintain some strength and fight the fatigue. I noticed my chest/underarm would feel tight but I made sure to do some exercises/stretches. Please do reach out if you need anything at all! xx
