Hi all, 

It's Steph from the Community team here, I hope you don't mind me popping in to share some recent news. 

I'm here to highlight a recent Community News Blog, 'Cancer and fatigue - when will I start feeling less tired'  in case anyone might find it helpful. We know that fatigue can affect so many people affected by cancer so we felt it was an important subject to talk about.

We were able to share some amazing support from the breast cancer forum in the blog, so I hope you have time to take a look. The blog can help others find and benefit from the vital support you all offer each other. 

You can read the blog by clicking on the linked title above. To take a look at all of our Community News Blogs, you can click on 'news' in the menu at the top of the page (above the forum name). 

Do let us know if you have any questions, feedback or would like to share your experience. We'd also love to hear if you can think of any important issues you'd like us to talk about in our blogs.

  • That's interesting thanks for sharing. I'm 9.5 months post-chemo and 6 months post-radiotherapy and I still find I need to pace myself. 

    On thing I have found recently is that I thought I was on a continual upwards trajectory of increasing energy levels. But about 6 weeks ago, I had a lot more to do than usual for a couple of weeks and it really knocked me over again, I ended up with a couple of infections that I'm only really just starting to get over now.

    I feel like I've gone backwards with energy levels, so trying to pace myself again and have plenty of rest as well as plenty of activity. I'm a very active person so slowing down a bit is tough, but necessary.
