long term radiation fatique

Apr 26, 2010 - 3:30 pm
I have had two radiation treatments for two different cancers, prostate and larynx. The prostate was 10 years ago and for 7 weeks, the larynx was 3 years ago for seven weeks. I have absolutely no energy since my last radiation treatment. My body feels drained all the time. Anyone else out there with long term post radiation fatique? |

My first treatment was for NPC in 2003 and again in 2005, I did not start to have side affects until years later, about two years ago my Thyroid stop working, I would get very weak and tired all the time. You say you had treatment to the larynx that it right next to the thyroid glad, get it checked as soon as possible.
Hope this helps take care

Hey fighter pilot, crew chief (F-4 Phantom) here.
In answer to your question, yes sir, you will, mine was 10 years ago also (esophagealectomy) and I still am having lots of fatigue. It comes and goes.
I think both the Chemo and Radiation damaged some body parts (lungs) and I short breath it. Try bike riding to build up the stamina. Good Luck Sir and happy landings
