Vin - Radiation is truly the gift that keeps on giving. My condition grew much worse after treatment. The combination of radiation sickness and pain killers kept my energy near 0 for months. Much like Brian, I had months of 'issues' to cope with. Those things that helped me to most were additional calories, more water, tiny bits of exercise (a stumbling lap around my house) and sleep. The pain drugs were truly double edged - relief but lethargy and confusion. Getting away from them was tough.

Get that second opinion if you have doubts. Even the docs who are close to this every day can miss things. Its a small expense for the peace of mind it can build. Be strong. Tom
