Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,357 Likes: 5 | After the 1st round of radiation, I suffered from fatigue for about a year. After the 2nd round of radiation (30 treatments now to the right side), I am STILL experiencing severe fatigue. The RO says there are no stats on fatigue after a 2nd radiation, as they don't do it that often and it hasn't been studied/tracked. At this point - 3 years post treatment - we expect this is a permanent but non-fatal side effect of what the RO described as "life saving treatment". I'll take it!
