Hello, I’m 8 months post treatment for cervical cancer. I’m struggling with fatigue but have been advised that after treatment and going through the menopause it’s likely a combination of these two things are causing the fatigue. It’s hard trying to been mum and run a house, unfortunately I’ve been signed off work for the moment as I just couldn’t cope. I’m lucky that I haven’t had other side effects from treatment/menopause but I am struggling with fear. I’m struggling with personal care ie showering, washing my hair, even getting dressed makes me fearful. I become frightened when I have to get out of bed in the morning. I’m also finding it difficult to do laundry. I become so anxious before I have to do these tasks and seeing this written down I think why am I so frightened. The only thing I can think of is that when I was going through treatment I struggled to do these tasks. I was so exhausted that sometimes it was the only thing I could do and have to rest up after attempting these tasks. Is this normal what I’m experiencing? Thank you for taking time to read over my post.
