Hi
Need some advice. I finished 5 days of radiotherapy on Friday 19th August. Following breast cancer being diagnosed in a routine mammogram which required surgery. I worked Through my radiotherapy treatment without any problems then I broke my leg on the Wednesday. I am absolutely exhausted sleeping day and night and feel drained following a shower. I didn’t think I would feel this way after a short period of radiotherapy and wondered if anyone can give me an idea of their recovery journey. I have kids at school and my husband is doing the best he can working full time and running the house I just need some advice is there anything that you have all done to help beat the fatigue to get you back on your feet quicker. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry to read that you're struggling with fatigue after radiotherapy for breast cancer. I didn't suffer with this but I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer forum where you'll connect directly with others who have suffered with fatigue after breast cancer treatment.

You may also find this information from Macmillan on fatigue helpful.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
