Just feeling fed up. It’s now been nearly 2 months since my last

treatment. And still feeling washed out and exhausted. Is this normal. Or should I have started to feel better. I’m now off the hormone blockers. But seen now suffering more with hot flushes 

just wondering if anyone out there experiencing the same. Or can they see light at the end of the tunnel. 

  • Hi Kit, am ahead of you, one year since end of radiotherapy  and hormones. Had hot flushes til 7 months after although reducing in strength. Yes tiredness but it reduces. Hold in and be patient! 

  • My experience after coming off two years of hormone therapy is that the first few months were far worse than being on it. I felt depressed and listless and was (am still!) carrying a lot of extra weight, nine months after the treatment. Exercises/weight training are essential, which will help greatly.
