I am doing radiation right now too. I was feeling the fatigue really bad until I started to go to bed earlier. I'm now getting an extra hours sleep at night which is about 8-1/2 hours of sleep each night. It has really helped me not feel so tired and weak. I also met with the nutritionist who told me I need to eat more protein and fruits during my rads. I have gained 3 pounds but figure I'll lose it once my rads are over. Apparently our bodies really have to work hard during the rads and we need the extra sleep and good nutrients to counter the rads. Good luck to you and happy to hear your good news about the nodes.
