I finished radiation on 6/26/2009. I did fairly well during the process. BUT
The first week after rad, I did a lot of sleeping and resting. Then I had three days where I was fine, not spending time in bed, out and about.
Yesterday, I wound up in the er due to being SO tired and weak. I am back in bed 18 hours a day again. All the test at the hospital were fine, nothing wrong with blood work, not dehidrated.
Is this the norm? Has anyone else on here gone through? How long will it last?
