Hi all, I'm new to this, thought I could go it alone, but now need to talk. Diagnosed in 2023, have had chemo, radiotherapy and hormone therapy. Currently just being monitored until some other symptoms occur. Hormone therapy has left me with severe osteoporosis. Chemo has left me with long term fatigue. Now awaiting eye surgery for cataracts. Have had to give up work , now 62 , no help from government. Can't drive anymore. Yes the treatments have prolonged my life a little but it does not feel like it at the moment. What part of me will fail next. ?
