How can I manage fatigue during liver radiation treatment?
Community Member
a month agoQuick check in... I started radiation treatment on the two tumors on my liver. One is 1 cm the 2nd one is 4 cm. I've had the 3rd treatment and have 2 more to go. The biggest side effect has been fatigue. Incredible lack of energy. After the last one (#3 yesterday), I had some nausea and appetite loss. Overall, I feel like I'm doing pretty well.

a month agoManaging fatigue during radiation treatment is incredibly common, and staying gentle with yourself during this time is so important. Many people in this community have found that pacing activities, staying hydrated, and getting quality rest when possible can help, though it's always best to discuss specific strategies with your care team who knows your situation best.
