I had this procedure in Feb. and felt fine for about a month. Now I seem to
be falling on my face, so tired I just want to sit all the time. I am
trying to find a reason and wonder if is delayed response to MammoSite. I
know with the regular 6 weeks of radiation it does exhaust you but did not
think this procedure was supposed to. My primary doctor did not seem to
know but, of course, mentioned depression. Depression has been my companion
for years with rheumatoid arthritis and all the surgeries, etc. it has
brought on, so I don't see this as the answer. I don't see surgeon or
oncologist again till last of June so can't ask him. Just wondering if
anyone who did this had any fatigue problem.

If you haven't, you might want to talk with your family doctor, also.
There are numerous potential causes of fatigue.
In my case, I started to get more energy post-radiation, then it was
like I hit a wall. I was exhausted. It turned out I was strongly
hypothyroid . . . and hypothyroidism is more common post-BC-treatment,
for reasons I gather are unknown.
