I felt great 2 weeks after radiation (9 weeks) and went back to work and was eating fried chicken! About 8 weeks after that the defecation hit the rotary oscillator! I got so fatigued and started losing weight even though I was eating and doing light excercise. It lasted about 10 weeks and I am fine again. I have just about the same energy level as before radiation/chemo and could probably ride the bike 10+ miles a day right now.
