Hello all,

I am now two weeks post radiation and my underarm completely peeled, but is healing nicely and is no longer bright red. My nipple where I received my boosts is healing as well and is no longer red and oozing(tmi). I continue to have swelling in breast and underarm but hopefully it will decrease soonas well. I am surprised how tired I am right now, but all in all good. I hope you are all doing well.

Are you still fatigued after radiation?

I have seen where it gets worse after radiation is complete. I am exhausted right now at 19 / 30. I hope it does get better for me after completion of radiation

Redhead403, I still get tired, more then a month after I finished rads. I am usually in bed by 8:00 pm. It is much better though. I am only surprised by the zapping and burning sensations I get from time to time, as well as by the sorness and numbing in my arm. I thought it would all be gone by know. Over all not too bad though and I hope all SE will eventually fade and disappear all together. Lots of hugs!

Hello Redhead403,

I am still very fatigued 2 weeks out of finishing radiation. It’s all I can do to stay up til 8:30pm my usual bedtime used to be around 11pm. I am hoping it will subside soon.

In case anyone still out there, I found Gold Bond Exzema Relief formula with oatmeal very effective.

I’m having Accelerated Whole Breast Irradiation With Hypofractionation Plus Concurrent Boost. I’ll have only 15 treatments starting next week. Cosmetic and functional outcomes are supposed to be the same or better.
