Judy - happy you have finished your treatment! Even though you had Stage I, just the diagnosis alone really puts our mind into a tailspin.
If you can take a week or two off and get regrounded, I think that may help. Radiation does tend to cause fatigue in lots of gals. I had Stage III, lumpectomy/chemo/rads. As soon as my chemo was finished, I started walking 15 minutes a day. I knew rads would do me in if I didn't get some strength back. After about a week, I was up to 30 minutes a day, then after a couple more weeks, I switched to an hour 3-4 times a week. Exercise is the best thing for fatigue, but it can be sooooooo hard to start! But it's so worth the effort.
Also, I would go to a good health food store and see about getting on Omega 3, B complex and CoQ10 along with a good multi vitamin. That could also help.
HUGS!!!
