Hi Amelia! I can't add much to what our sisters have said, other than to make sure to drink alot of water, and Nicola's rad. onc. did recommend a radiation cream called "Jeans Cream", which is expensive, but worked very well for her. Typically, the fatigue effects from radiation are cumulative, so maybe you were just very tired after your first treatment because you didn't sleep well for a few nights leading up to your first treatment. Like Gerri said, rest when your body tells you to rest, and Jean has always recommended trying to schedule your rads. at the end of the day, and that sounds great. Best wishes to you, Amelia
