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
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
