Weight loss, Hair loss & fatigue.

Hair loss was about 10 days - 2 weeks. Fatigue was pretty instant. I never did lose weight, in fact I gained, due to the prednisone.
Best wishes to you!

I've had radiation therapy twice ... 20 years ago, then again 2 years ago. Unless the radiation is on the scalp area of your head, you won't lose your hair. Weight loss and fatigue are also side effects of Chemo ... not radiation. The only side effect I experienced from radiation were burns to the skin, as well as some scarring. I'm not too familiar with Chemo ... sorry.
Edit: You may lose weight and experience fatigue, if radiation is done on the stomach area.

it depends on the dosage of radiation and chemo you get. my boyfriend started hair loss 2 weeks after his first chemo fatigue came on the 2nd day weight loss started about the 3rd week after radiation

I had performed this as quickly as, i presumed after a week and that i did no longer have any damaging facet effects suitable away that i may well be o.k., I felt super for around 2 weeks. Then i began out to without postpone experience unhappy and became very crabby and un approachable, no longer propose yet very cranky. that is totally risky, It did no longer get better, i began yet another med and wanted for yet another 2 weeks I had in no way stopped because it takes this long to get into your equipment. Please be careful.
