Exhausted

Hi. Just signed up as I'm so fed up with being tired all the time. Finished my treatment about 11 days ago and feel dreadful.

My partner doesn't want to be with me. My dogs and horse are missing out as I have no energy. I just want my life back. I cry sometimes but what's the point when no one can hear me. 

  • Hello Julie.J

    I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling with things at the moment. It's understandable that you're feeling exhausted after going through treatment for cancer. 

    Have you spoken with your care team or GP about how you're feeling? If not then I'd really encourage you to give them a call or make an appointment to see your Dr. If you think it may be easier to talk things through with one of our nurses for some advice and support first then you're most welcome to call them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    In the meantime you might want to have a look through the information we have on our website about mental health and cancer which has some useful advice. 

    Hopefully over the coming days and weeks, things will begin to improve for you Julie but please do keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on. We're here to listen and offer any support we can. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
