I finished my five days of radiotherapy three days ago. I read a lot of people on here say the fatigue wasn’t too bad and that they worked all the way through their treatment, which is good, I’m glad for them. I have quite a physically demanding job so have been off work for months. I feel a little bit like a slug on sedatives. I get up and do something simple like washing up, or putting the washing on, and then I need a sit down. I feel weak as well but can’t really sleep properly. I just wondered if anyone else felt like me, and if so, how long after treatment does the fatigue start to lift?

  • Hi, I worked throughout my 5 days but towards the end i was shattered and for 2 -3 weeks afterwards.  Im 4.5 weeks post radiotherapy now, and whilst i am still tired ( especially on work days) it is getting a lot easier x
