I just had my last radiation treatment yesterday! I am feeling tired and sore. At least I can enjoy the Holidays w/o any treatments. I go see my Oncologist in January.

I have triple negative and they want to do twenty treatments but I am pink after just 3.

Congratulations on reaching the end of radiation! Fatigue after radiation for breast cancer can last different lengths of time for each person, and many people find that tiredness lingers for a while after treatment ends, so resting and being patient with the body is okay. Keeping a short note of how energy levels change from day to day can help during the next oncology visit, where the care team can speak to what to expect. Others in this community may be glad to share how their recovery went, so feel free to ask for their experiences too.
