Had single mastectomy approx 4 weeks ago. No further treatment as yet - will find out next week if any planned/needed. Seemingly recovering well from mastectomy - physically & emotionally - BUT absolutely exhausted all the time. Must admit that I ve been trying to act as normal eg driving (short distances only), shopping, housework, cooking, even a UK holiday! Most of the time I ve been able to cope but finding it increasingly difficult. Is it normal to feel like this or could it be a sign of worse things to come??
Hello, had my mastectomy 7 weeks ago, after chemo. Think you might be doing too much - I certainly know if I do. Give yourself a break - I know you want to be back to normal but it takes time.
