One of the stupid things I did when I had radiation 8 years ago was to go to bed and sleep for most of the day, mostly because I couldn't keep warm any other way. Muscles atrophy very rapidly if not used. Talk to yout drs as to what exercise might help, but you need some. I suggest short walks in between the naps if that is what you need. You might also try some PT.
Take care,
Eileen
