I started Radiotherapy this week. Only had 3 sessions of 20 and so far have done really well or so I thought! Last night I felt absolutely wiped out exhausted and feel same today. Skin has already turned pink and feels very tender. I was expecting to have some kind of reaction but definitely not this early on?!?!? Is this effect of radiotherapy or likely to be something else. I really can't believe that only 3 sessions would leave me this worn out! I practically breezed through lumpectomy and despite a few hot flushes the anastrozole hasn't been too bad. I know I've been very lucky up to now. I'm generally very fit and active and up til today have still been up and about walking the dog for 4 - 5 miles a day! If this is effect of radiotherapy crikey I've got another 17 sessions to go! Has anyone had a reaction this early and can offer advice....
