I'm now day 21 after radiotherapy has ended. Hospital says, 2 to 3 weeks would be peak tiredness. I feel it isn't lifting and I'm in the depths and not coming out.
I guess I'm maybe looking for reassurance that it passes if anyone has that experience.
I've been so positive up to past couple of weeks but now I'm struggling so much. It feels like I'm spiralling. I'm losing g my strength, my word recall, my ability to walk/talk easily and naturally. I struggle to get up stairs, or up from floor/bed/sofa. Everything is an effort.
I guess I don't know how much is just fatigue like they said will pass from treatment and how much is tumour and won't pass. I'm scared it will not pass and is permanent.
I have my review in 2 weeks from my 6 weekTMZ and radiotherapy treatment ending and all along the hospital have been saying no concerns with me.
I guess I'm just panicking. Any words to help from anyone been through it.
I'm no surgery so just biobsy, TMZ and radiotherapy.
Should probably add for anyone that hasn't read my previous. GBM grade 4, inoperable.
