It is very normal to feel fatigued after radiation. Think of it as if you were in the hot sun at the beach. It is important to rest when the body is telling you to rest and to hydrate.
It's normal to feel unwell after radiation therapy, as fatigue, skin irritation, and nausea are common side effects. Each body responds differently to treatment, and these symptoms can vary based on the area treated. Rest, hydration, gentle skincare, and small meals can help manage these effects, but personalized care is essential. If your symptoms are significantly impacting your day-to-day life, we encourage you to come into the clinic. We’d love to discuss these in person and offer specific support to help you feel better and heal more comfortably.

Speak to your doctor about your symptoms.
