Sean, there are many, many posts regarding fatigue posted on our message board. There could be several medical reasons why you are so tired. Has your doctor checked your thyroid and testosterone (Im assuming Sean means you are male) levels? If so, how long ago? Im hoping your doctor had you do a pre-treatment complete blood work up to get your baseline levels. Without those baseline numbers doctors have no idea what your normal numbers wold be. From what Ive seen on here, many survivors have problems well after finishing rads with their numbers being "off". The blood tests should be done as part of your annual follow up maintenance check ups.

If you use our search feature which is near the upper right corner of any page, type in testosterone, or late effect fatigue, or thyroid or synthroid. There should be many posts for you to read up on this. Both low testosterone and thyroid numbers are easily fixed with taking one small pill per day. Im not sure about testosterone but I know the thyroid meds are no big deal. They do take a while to work and can get changed as time goes on. I started at 50mcgs of synthroid and about 5 years later, Im up to 88mcgs which I think is due for another increase soon.

Hope this help smile
