Hello,
I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in April. Had lumpectomy in May. Waiting for a date to start radiotherapy. I returned to work on a phased return 2 weeks ago. I am finding work really exhausting, is this normal? Can I ask for my phased return to be extended?
How to others deal with constantly feeling tired?
Thank you!
