Hello. I am currently 8 months post treatment for cervical cancer, treatment been chemotherapy, radiotherapy and brachytherapy. I am also going through the menopause, started HRT 4 months ago. I have found my energy levels are non existent, I’m sleeping a great deal (12 hours plus more some nights) and there is some days I am unable to get out of my bed at all. I had blood tests taken which came back normal and have been to my GP a few times about the fatigue. The menopause clinic have changed my HRT but as yet it’s not helping with the fatigue. My oncologist has said it could be a combination of intense treatment plus the menopause that’s causing the fatigue. I’m really struggling, I’m finding the fatigue debilitating. I‘m struggling to bring up my family and run the home. Is this normal and is there anything I can do differently to try and help? I’m taking a combination of vitamins and have had an increase in my antidepressants too. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
