It's been 6mo after tomoth. Still tired. If I exercise, even lightly, the next 2-3 days I feel extra fatigue, almos like I caught a bug or something. Is this common or unusual.

Tx surgery 11/06 Tomotherapy (targeted IMRT) 3/07

It matches my experience although I had two radiation treatments (for oral cancer and then breast cancer) within 6 months. For 6 months after the last rad treatment ended, I was still fighting being easily fatigued.

In fact, I am still way more easily fatigued than I was before treatment and it is two years later. But I was a pretty high energy person before so I think think now I'm more in the low-normal energy range.

Well....
I stained the deck 2 weeks ago and after that was done (and it was not hard work) I felt like a truck ran over me and also developed a fever that night. I guess that one should approach these things with more common sense and consider the consequences....
Still I hope that this improves.

Hi, Markus, I would say that being 4 months out of tx. is still considered a time to not push yourself too much. Your body has been through alot. Give it time. amy in the Ozarks
