Hi Kathy, I think what you are feeling is quite normal. It has been mentioned in this forum that it takes 1 month of healing for every week of radiation you receive. And I remember my husband being extremely tired and lethargic for a good 2 months I would say after his radiation treatment ended in November 2002. Granted some days were better than others - but even to this day, he has days were he pretty much sleeps the day away. He does go swimmng (therapy) and that seems to revitalize him.....but I can tell you from what I have observed - the tiredness is common and to be expected. Also, my husband had a very hard time with solids for awhile - and still has a problem with some foods - but overall, is making progress. It takes a LOT of time for your body to heal itself....so give it time. But if at any time, anything seems particularily "weird" or not right to you - please don't hesitate to talk to your doctor(s) about it. Good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
