Hello.  Thanks for writing to us. The hot flushes and decreased level of activity is commonly sent after radiotherapy. There is associated decrease in the blood cells causing such persistent weakness. She needs a proper supportive therapy and regular clinical monitoring along with the symptomatic management under the guidance of a proficient physician. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
