Radiotherapy

Hello Oakwood51 

Five weeks out from treatment is not long, sorry!  The exhaustion following radiotherapy cannot be underestimated, I spent more time in bed fast asleep than anything else in the first couple of months.  The body is trying to repair itself and in your shoes, I wouldn't soldier on.  Rest and sleep when you need to.

I hope you feel better soon.  But be kind to yourself until you get there!

Yes, as Irene says radiotherapy is exhausting and your body just needs time to heal and recuperate. Rest and sleep as much as you can; eat well and stay hydrated - just the usual wellness stuff. You will gradually find your energy levels return. Meanwhile if you are enjoying good quality sleep, just go with it. Bed at 9pm sounds like bliss!
