Since my diagnosis I am so so tired! I also live with MS, (which fortunately has not affected my mobility) so I'm used to fatigue - but this is not the same! To begin with I thought it was psychological and my mind was tired out from working overtime, but now I'm not so sure? I am just so happy to sit at home in my "nest".
I'm interested to know how other people find things?
Hi Roxiesam, I believe it’s a reaction to the extra energy we use up as we try to negotiate the emotional roller coaster of the stress and anxiety of a cancer diagnosis and the daily effort we have to make to keep on top of it, deal with other people’s reactions to it and generally “manage” it all. I do think we also appreciate home more as it represents the normality we tend to crave all the more.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
