Hi All.its been a little while since I was on here...now I've finished all treatment July...rang the bell.. felt great health wise..thought I could go back to work reduced hours..1st week over then..BANG..I was hit with extreme fatigue from radiotherapy and then chest infection..most days couldn't even get myself out of bed...
Just to make a point...be kind to yourself when treatment is over it takes a while to get back to strength...today is my 1st day of feeling human again...take care all of you.xx
Hiya Geordiepaws great to hear from you,
Congratulations on finishing your treatment. I'm glad you're feeling better and what a shame you got poorly after your radiotherapy finished. I feel really lucky, i have never had so much energy I've painted 22 6ft fence panels over the weekend.
I wonder now if the feeling tired before i was diagnosed was the cancer, i couldn't be bothered to do anything and thought i was just being lazy. Although i'm not back at full time work yet, (because of school holidays) they have told me i can go back on a phased return if i want but i'm so ready to be back.
Keep being kind to yourself Geordiepaws,
Take Care xxx
Good to hear from you Geordiepaws
And well done on getting through your treatment x
