Hi
My partner is almost 9 months post chemo radiation and the fatigue has set in again. He is having to nap every day which is not like him. It worries me because this was a symptom he had before we knew it was cancer. Is it normal this far out of treatment to get tired again? Nothing else has changed. We do have regular 6-8 weekly checks with the consultant so I will ask him in a few weeks time. I’m just panicking that it may have come back as he can not stay awake past tea time without an hours sleep :( thanks
Radiation fatigue can still be an issue months after treatment. It's likely just that but do mention it at his next review. Also book a thyroid test at your partner's GP. RT can cause hypothyroidism
