Tired and nausious

I had 3 weeks of radiotherapy to safeguard against cancer after having op to remove breast califications.

I am now starting to feel fatigued but having trouble sleeping as I am becoming very anxious.

I am trying to eat small meals as my appetite has gone, but  not even sure what I should be eating. My boyfriend is making me chicken and veg soups, things on toast etc. But i then get heartburn and nausia. I am trying a homemade ginger drink for this.

Not sure if all this is normal, is sickie feeling due to lack of sleep , the more I feel unwell more anxious I am getting

Would love some advice

  • Hello Lillypink
    I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with the side effects of your recent treatment. It's common for things to get worse for a couple of weeks after treatment stops. I've included some links for you here and here which may be of help and give you some reassurance.

    If things don't settle with your symptoms and anxiety over the next few days then speak to your GP who will be able to help. 

    I hope that things improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
