Hiya guys
I’m on seeking wisdom re ANYTHING that you found gave you energy after treatment had ended? My ten sessions finished 7 weeks and I am EXHAUSTED. I am back to work and three weeks ago I was swimmand walking and full of energy but now … BOOM, I am heavy with fatigue and if you’ve any secret tonics I’d love to hear
Have a great Sunday and take care x
It honestly does. 7 months on post-radiotherapy I'm back up to previous level of fitness, and more :-)
Hi, even really short walks might help, my oncologist told me to walk every day, even only 5-10 mins and I have to admit, it always helps me. Best wishes
Thank you, I was positively striding a few weeks back but these legs feel like each one is ten stone. I’ve taken a few days leave to regroup and get a dip in the sea/jumpstart my system x
I feel for anyone going back to work and having to deal with C and the treatments it brings. I’m nearly 200 yrs old so am a lady of leisure but I do walk regularly with my little dog roughly 5 miles a day (in 2 shifts)! I find it helps with the stiffness of RT/ lymph removal and bone ache. I can only suggest exercise in any way you can..no secret tonics, just every other month no alcohol for me…I wish you well xxx
I love this comment, thank you. Five miles is mega but yours sounds lovely. Hearing everyone’s coming out the other side is music to my ears and what I needed. THANK YOU xx
Maybe ask for a blood test - I've just had one which showed my iron levels were very low. I'd been struggling with tiredness, feeling dizzy etc and a dry mouth and just assumed they were side effects of anastrozole. Two surgeries last summer plus radiotherapy - so much going on you that you forget to think about whether it might be something else.
