It took over 20 before I started to feel anything. For some it happened sooner and some will say they zipped right though with no side effects. Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones.

Absolutely no fatigue for me...just lots of skin breakdown issues that I’m trying to recover from.
I think it depends as well if you are having radiation on a breast vs. your chest wall.

I was fatigued and foggy brained after the first week, but everyone is different. I hope your body is stronger than most! xoxoxo

I was ok with 25. After the 30th and last I was really tired and felt weak. After I recovered from side effects which took about 4 days I was much better. Everyone is different. Good luck and hopefully you will be fine.
