Hello .. just wanted to ask a question. Not sure if im on the correct spot on the site.
Was diagnosed with stage 2 endometrial cancer 6 weeks following hysterectomy mid April.
5 weeks daily mixed radiotherapy followed. This ended at the end of August.
I feel like I’ve done well with recovery , there are lots of little aspects of my functioning physically that have changed post radio but I cope with it , walk my dog most days ( pay a walker on days it’s too much ) but I’m still so tired have only managed to get back to 60% work .. if I don’t get 10hrs sleep a night I don’t function well. Is this common ?
