Hi I have recently been diagnosed with IDC after finding a lump in my breast, I am scheduled for a lumpectomy on 3rd. I am already feeling really tired all the time though and have no appetite. I am sleeping as well as I normally do and dont feel like I am overly worrying about it all, though obviously I am concerned. Has anyone else felt tired from the cancer even before treatment starts.
Good evening... Before my lumpectomy i too was always tired, but i always put it down to having an underactive thyroid.. So i always ended up having nanny naps... but i always felt worse for having a sleep, Once i was diagnosed and had my surgery, i felt knackered after, but its been 15 days after my surgery i feel tired but not as much as before.. Like Capazi has said rest.. x
