I am 5 months post radiation and I don't have my precancer energy at all. I used to get up and hit the floor running at 6am. I now find that I don't have that morning energy anymore. Part of it is depression and part is the treatment effects. Are you able to take naps? I sure took my share three months out. I'm back to work but I have to remind myself to not over do it. I am much more in tune with my body. I try and go to bed early and get at least 8 hours of sleep. I deserve it!!!! Remember to measure your progress in weeks not days. I hope your test comes back negative. I'll be praying for you. Dan
