I’m nearly 18 months post all treatment and I feel broken! Everything hurts and I’m alway feeling poorly. Is this normal??? Anyone else feeling this?
Sadly yes it is. You've been through a major physical and mental trauma and your body & mind need time to recover. Be kind to yourself and while others may brush you off with "you are ok now" tell them you feel mentally battered which is affecting you physically. It's worth speaking to your GP if you have any specific issues. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 18 months after my treatment.
