I am a 74 year old having had a hystorectomy, chemo, radiotheray and bracheotherapy. Finished treatment 18 months ago.
I have always been overweight but since treatment I have become very flabby around my abdomen, bum, thighs and midriff and it is very uncomfortable with rolls of flab. I abut that I'm not very active but that is due to a back problem. I seem to have lack of energy and weak and lack muscle mass.
Has anyone experienced this?
