Fatigue is better then dying. I did 25 treatments and I was always fatigue. I love my life.

I did 29 rounds by the end of 3 Rd wk I realized this fatigue was pretty bad and I'd just have to deal with it I came home from radiation and slept nothing else I could do.i feel while undergoing any of this treatment we all just need to look at things differently what we can and cannot do right now

Radiation SUCKED! Fatigue is real! Everyday I lay on that skinny little table with no top on I thought about quitting, but everyday I went back until I was done!

You know your limits and no one can tell you different. Weigh the pros and cons, talk with a friend/husband/oncologist to get some other view points and then follow what your heart, head and most importantly your body is telling you. If it is enough - you are allowed to say it's enough. You have control over your treatment plan.

The gals at work made me a radiation chain - you know like the chains you used to have as a kid at Christmas time? You take a new link off each day? They made a chain for each day during radiation - inside the chain was a motivation quote - or just a YOU CAN DO THIS - We are here for you message.

While I'm not close enough to you to make a chain - YOU CAN DO THIS and we all are here for you - regardless of what you decide!

Thanks everyone. Feeling a little better today but still fatigued. I did what some of you said and tried to get out and about more instead of sitting around and that seems to help some. I know I need to do it but I'm so afraid of getting worse fatigue. The last radiation treatment on the breast is Nov 21st (the monday of Thanksgiving week) but then we are going on vacation on Dec 7th for a week to visit my sons and my grandbaby out in IL. I don't know what I'll do if I still feel like this. I still am looking at 5 radiation treatments for my lower back but that is going to have to wait till we get back. Thank you all for your messages and for caring and thanks to @A MyBCTeam Member for your sweet words about angels to help. I'm lucky to have a husband who does all the housework and cooking so I'm good there, but you are all my angels that help me get through the rough times - HUGS

Roseann (such a pretty name) I replied previously but would like to add to PLEASE ask for help now from your supporters. They are just waiting for a time they can help. Now is the time to wave that damn flag and say yes, yes, I'm fighting this, I'm tired, I need a little help to push me through this very sucky part. Ask and accept the help. It's amazing the special "angels" that are around you who can really help. People you wouldn't have expected. Just wave the flag, put it out there, ask for help for next couple of weeks and it will make a world of difference so you can get through this. Meals, dishes, laundry, shopping, house cleaning, driving to appointments, etc. Every little thing can help you save your energy so you can finish your perscribed treatments. Please hang in there and finish this. Doing it will give you a new confidence and strength to deal with other struggles. Hugs.
