Why am I so weak after chemo and radiation?

The extreme weakness you're experiencing is a common but challenging side effect that many cancer patients face after treatment. Definitely reach out to your oncologist - they can assess whether this is expected recovery or if there are specific interventions that might help, such as physical therapy or other supportive care options that work within your budget. Many hospitals and cancer centers offer resources or programs specifically designed to help patients rebuild strength after treatment, so it's worth asking about what might be available to you.

If insurance paid for treatment surely therapy after? Ask doc for orders and check coverage. Best wishes for healing

thank you

Reach out to your care team.

I just started the Livestrong program at my local YMCA. It is a no-cost 12 week program for cancer pts -- designed to help strengthen yourself and work on any other needs (like balance). Instructors are specially trained to advance you slowly but at your own pace.
