Hey James,
My wife recently had SBRT on two para-aortic nodes and complained about similar pain in the treatment area and being tired. Remember, it is a treatment and it does cause the fight inside of your cells within your body. Inflammation at the site of the SBRT is normal, which is why they postpone scans for several months to avoid false positives. Also, allow your body to recover through adequate rest. Sleep heals the body, so do not be afraid of allowing yourself enough rest. I hope the treatment is working. Please keep us all posted of your progress.
Regards,
WS
