Hi there. 

I was diagnosed Dec21 out of the blue with breast cancer. Jan22 I had lumpectomy and sentinel node removal. Started Letrazole. March I had radiotherapy. Three days after finishing I felt a bit unwell - thought it was effects of radiotherapy.....wrong....it was Covid! I had avoided it throughout whilst working in hospital and GP Surgery but now it came to say hello. Got over that then 2 weeks later I have flu ! So quite a lot happened since March.

I think my immune system may have been hit a little. I am feeling just really tired right now. I went back to work 2 weeks-ish after finishing radiotherapy and Covid had cleared. Then had the flu, which I am still dealing with. 

Is it quite normal to feel unmotivated, tired, not wanting to see anyone? Maybe I am just really anti-social Thinking Grin

    Not unusaat all. It’s an effort to pretend to feel well and chatty when we just want to curl up. You wonder how something so toxic can make you well but it dies!

    Hi Tavares 

    Thanks for reading and replying to my message. 

    I think that sums me up. Everything feels an effort. I am not in a smiley mood today so I accept thats how I feel .....tomorrow will be better Grin
