Its been a year since my diagnosis for her2 breast cancer iv had chemo surgery and radiotherapy and am now almost half way on kadcyla treatment and bone infusions every6 months. Although its described as lighter chemo compared to the brutal one I had to start I still struggle with the absolute exhausted feeling all the time and am now on amytriptaline for neuropathy effects of treatments, Im feeling very overwhelmed recently with 8 to go and more surgery I try be the best I can as have kids and a husband but I don't even remember the last time I had energy to clean my house its so upsetting when even having a shower makes me tired. Does anyone else here feel this way and will my energy ever come back enough to have a tidy home and not feel like everything is falling apart around me :(
