post radiation
I finished radiation last Friday and I'm more tired and sore now than I was during treatment. Is this normal?

I don't know about sore...
I was told radiation continues to "work" for up to six week post treatment. I thought I would start perking up when radiation ended but it totally kicked me in the butt! I know everyone is different, but I don't know one person who hasn't experienced fatigue.
I admit to being tired of being in treatment and this type of side effect but I couldn't do anything but give in to it and sleep. It takes time, but you will come back. Your body is healing and go with the way you feel.
