Hi looking for advice, I had my final dosetaxal on 11th March.i had 6 treatments in total 3 EC/3 dosetaxal. Iv  just had my 3rd radiotherapy today 2 more left.i feel the chemo has left me exhausted, my legs,arms,shoulders,stomach muscles basically my whole body just aches so much head to foot. I'm also quite breathless if I walk to fast or walk upstairs. I feel so unfit I'm only 44 and before all this I was really active.im wondering if il ever get my energy back again. Has anyone experienced this an if so for how long? X

    Hi it is very normal feeling that way after chemo,if you are still breathless walking upstairs have a blood test,also try and rest with your legs up as much as you can.Chemo is very powerful and it does tire you out,your body will get back to normal,I've had a year of chemo also I had radiotherapy so I do understand how you feel x
