My last radiation treatment was well over six years ago. Though I am now cancer free, I still feel as fatigued as I did during the therapy. Docs can't figure it out. Have any of you long-term survivors had a similar experience?

gizzmo664, my last radiation was 2+ years ago and I still feel tired all the time. However, it is not like when I was in treatment and had to take a nap after a treatment. Plus, I take some medications (anti-seizure) that make me feel tired. Also, I have thyroid problems. Have the tested your thyroid yet? If not, ask the to do so. It is a simple blood test. And finally, depression can make me tired to the point of not wanted to get out of bed.

I hope they can identify the problem and a solution to help you not feel so tired.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
