Hi all, I hope you are doing ok whatever stage you’re at. I finished treatment at the end of January and I’m waiting for my six month scan results. 
Generally I feel well most days but im very very tired all the time. I’m back to work, reduced hours slightly. I do have fibromyalgia and arthritis in my hip which has got much worse since treatment. I feel I should be back to my old self by now. I still have days when I feel absolutely rubbish. I think my family assume I’m ‘better’ because I’m not going to the hospital regularly. More burying their heads in the sand probably on their part. 
My oncologist says it’s normal to still have symptoms at this stage. Once you tell people you finished treatment in January and you’re not having any more, I feel a bit of a fraud saying I’m really tired etc 

Anyone else feel like this? Sorry if I’ve not explained it very well. X
