What Casues Severe Fatigue After A Radiotherapy?
My Mom (67 yrs old) got a radiotherapy session for her brain tumor. After the session, she got very weak mostly sleeping all day, can t speak, open her eyes only when we ask her to eat something,can drink fluids and swallow a piece of bread during the entire day and we don t know when her brain will recover from the radiation. Any advice would be helpful.Thanks.

yes.. these are the affects of the treatment given to her...her brain mri should be performed and discussed with the doctor.. as she is +67 so age is also one of the factor ..she l take time to recover... regular physiotherapy would definitely help ... vitals should be regularly monitoured
