WOW! I have been knocked down over the last few days by Radiation Fatigue! It began on Wednesday and by Friday and Saturday all I could do was sleep! Phew! I am familiar with some fatigue from chemo but this is far worse than anything I have previously experienced. I am literally "unable to stay awake". Pure and simple. I've been up for several short (1 hour) blocks today (Saturday), but mostly I am "napping". I wonder how long this will last?
Radiation Finished
Anyways... I had my last radiation treatment on Friday. 15 of 15. It is good to have it finished. No bad side-effects apart from the fatigue.
What Now?
Now we "wait and see" to learn what sort of effect the radiation has. It continues to work for a few weeks and I'll be back to see the radiation oncologist in about 4 weeks.
Chemo?
I will also be seeing my regular oncologist in the next week or so. I will learn then if there is any chemo approach that could help.
In the meantime it is NAPTIME....
Mostly napping... Rob; in Vancouver
