Hi, I am 3 weeks post surgery, WLE and SLNB. My results were good, no spread. I was really pleased, however 1 day after results I was completely floored with exhaustion. I didn't move the whole day. As with most cases, the time from recall to results was a whirlwind. I think I must have been suppressing emotions/thoughts/WTF moments for the whole 8 weeks. 4 days later I am still suffering fatigue, I feel totally drained and exhausted and I can't shift it. I suffer with Fibromyalgia, I am adjusting to life without HRT (hormone positive) my mum has recently gone into a care home and I lost 3 of my siblings over the last 5 years along with my mother in law. My daughter was diagnosed with MS and my other daughter with Liver cirrhosis ( non alcoholic) following medication for PCOS. I think I must of just "Kept calm and carried on" holding my breath for 5 years. Until my breast cancer diagnosis/ journey/fight! I held things together for everyone and they have looked after me in return, very well I must add. The fatigue is quite severe but exhaustion/drained feeling is overwhelming despite the good news.
I am wondering if life has caught up with me or is post positive results lethargy normal. I still have radiotherapy ahead of me and want to be in a good place for that but flatlined is the current me
