Could I have an advice please?
My mum had radiotherapy 4-5 months ago and she is doing better.She has no peg, she is eating herself.The only problem she has that she is is extremely week and tired most of the days.She sometimes struggle to dressed up herself.Her ferratynin is higher and her liver from blood result .?I know that some days are better than others but she feels weaker and weaker.
Hi Joanna44
Well done mum on getting through the treatment
It’s possible that this could simply be radiation fatigue. We all get it and it washes over us from nowhere. It comes and goes.
Has she lost much weight? Is she getting enough calories? She needs 2500 to recover properly
She should see her doctor really.

Oh and get her thyroid levels checked. Radiotherapy can sometimes cause hypothyroidism

Thank you for message
.Yes she sees doctor regularly and she is doing blood tests all the time.I don't know how many calories she is eating but she eats regularly and she gained more weight.Feeling weak can be because of radiation like you said.
