Hello everyone, I was diagnosed grade 3 uterine cancer last November, radical hysterectomy in Jan, radiation March to April. Had an online “check up” in April. Not had any subsequent contact from medical team. Am still so tired tho. Obvs been flung into menopause & can’t due to hormonal nature of cancer have any HRT or natural hormonal support. Should I bother the medical exam about this constant lack of energy & tiredness or is this “normal”? I don’t sleep well. Usually up two or three times in the night. I walk 2 miles every morning & do a weekly Pilates class. Any thoughts / recommendations very welcomed! Thank you.

    Hi

    I had radiation that finished the end of May. I was exhausted after for weeks..just the past 2 I've been loads better so the fatigue can last and you also had an operation. Why dont you ask to have your bloods checked as radiation can cause anemia? I get mine checked regularly. I would speak to them yes. I think fatigue comes with the territory but always best to tell them and see if they have advice . All the best and well done on the activities...I'm sure that will help your recovery x
