People put it to me kind of crudely, but I got the picture -- they said I'd keep "cooking" for a few weeks after radiation is done!! So real recovery starts a few weeks after your last treatment, I suppose. I was tired, and had painful blisters. Later had needle sharp pain in breast, which scared me, but it eventually went away. Take care of yourself. I hope you will allow yourself to move slowly on that out of town trip. It sounds like you have an understanding boss. So did I, and that makes a world of difference. I worked through radiation and so did my boss!! and another co-worker. Three of us at one social services agency in a two-year period. Congrats on finishing another phase of your treatment. There is recovery from this.
