The first 2 weeks radiation should not cause you problems that would keep you from driving. Maybe ok for 3rd, you'll just have to wait and see. The neck stiffness (for turning your head); it is still a problem for me at times, not at others. I can always turn my head, just not easily sometimes. So allow plenty of time to drive, so you won't feel pressed to change lanes much, and have enough time to parallel park. Seems like there is always that spot where you can't pick up a car behind you in your mirror in the other lane, and it takes more than one turning of the head to find that out. People who easily parallel park (like my husband) are actually happy when they get to do this.
Hopefully you do not have a long commute. You certainly don't need a vehicle accident to contend with now. Lucky for me I did not have to drive myself.
Best,
