My wife has brain cancer which has metastasized from breast cancer. She has at least 5 lesions, the biggest is around 2.5cm. She had 5 sessions of full brain radiotherapy and since then she is constantly fatigued. It’s around 8 weeks since the radiotherapy and she struggles to stand and walk more than 10 paces.

does this get better?

is there anything I can do to help?

is this the new normal?

she is due to start the tablet form of chemotherapy (capecitabine) within the next couple of weeks to prevent cancer in the rest of her body but I am worried that she isn’t strong enough to deal with it. But then what’s the alternative??
