    radiation

    Had lumpectomy and lymph node dissection (took 20 nodes) on 1/8/10. Clear margins and clean nodes and oncotype test showed that I did not need chemo. BRCA test - so I am happy!! Am starting radiation in the morning. Am curious about the side effects-especially the fatigue as it will be 100 mile daily round trip for me to have radiation. My dr. recommended aloe vera gel and aquaphor. She also told me wear a loose bra. Will I really get tired? My radiation is scheduled for 7 am everyday and then am planning on going to work.
