Dear friends , need your advice and experience. I was operated for adenocarcinoma in February 2019. Though the operation was a success and the margins were clear I have been really feeling rotten since then. My main concern is being not right in my head like empty headed, foggy and a bit nauseous. Getting tired quickly Had brain MRI in June, nothing sinister was found. My last chest X-ray was a week ago, again all clear. I asked for another brain brain MRI but was told that my symptoms are due to depression . I already had 8 weeks of counseling and taking antidepressants
Hi Nadezhda.
Sorry you are feeling like this. It is very reassuring that the brain scan was clear. I do empathise with you. I too feel very brain fogged at times, and I do get very tired. I actually had to give up work because my concentration and tiredness was too much, I felt like I was letting my colleagues down. A lot of my symptoms are due to my hormone treatment which has basically put me into menopause at 100 miles an hour. I did find that I didn’t want, or have the energy to do anything. Some days I would just sit and watch tv all day. I now make myself get up early every day, and get out for a little walk, or go to the shops. I still get tired but it feels better to get out and do something.
I think the counselling is good, take the antidepressant if you feel you want too, but for me I just found they masked the symptoms.
