Tiredness

Hi

My Mum was diagnosed 8 years ago with a Pancoast Tumor on her right lung. She was great with 6 weeks intensive Radiotherapy, which shrunk the tumor & so far, (fingers crossed) it's behaved! The only thing is the tiredness, does it ever go away? My Mum also suffers with an Interactive Thyroid, symptoms of this is also fatigue, which doesntdhelp. Does anyone have any top tips to help with the tiredness? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    I'm glad to see that the radiotherapy has been effective although I'm sorry about the tiredness your mum is experiencing as a result.

    Many of our members here on the forum have had radiotherapy so hopefully you'll get some advice from them soon. We have some tips on our website for managing this but our cancer nurses are just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m if you'd like to have a chat with them about this as well.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards,
