I had clear cell endometrial cancer and had total hysterectomy and chemo and brachytherapy finishing 6 weeks ago. I am still feeling aching in my hip joints and generally feeling knackered still. Is this normal.

A very warm welcome to the forum Wornout, although I'm sorry to hear how achy and tired you've been feeling since finishing your treatment.
As you'll see on our website, fatigue is quite a common side effect of cancer treatment and can last for a bit afterwards so rest assured that feeling knackered at the moment is completely normal. However, if you're still worried make sure you have a chat about this with your medical team as they will be in the best position to advise and address any other concerns you may have at this time.
Lots of our members have contended with tiredness too, so you are not alone, and hopefully you will receive some support and advice from them soon.
Be kind to yourself during your recovery Wornout, and hopefully over time you'll start to see some improvements.
Kind regards,
