I am 8 months post Tx and just recently I have noticed myself feeling a little more tired than say 2 months ago. I was told a few weeks ago that my I had a very mild case of hypothyroidism meaning under active thyroid. I was put on a thyroid med and was told among others that feeling tired is a symptom. So far I haven't noticed any difference since I started taking the pill but thought you might want to have your thyroid checked out as it is a very common side effect of radiation that doesn't show up until months after TX ends.
