Hi I had 15 rounds of Radiotherapy which ended in March 2021,and yes it does exhaust you and yes you do get good weeks and bad weeks. I still to this day get easily tired,I'm on Letrazole for 10 yrs,and I have lymphedema ( mild) in my right arm,I don't sleep well at the best of times, so that all doesn't help.But I try to make the most of my life, I keep telling myself not to be to hard on myself,as I get frustrated that I can't do as much as I used to without extreme tiredness coming over me,but I pull myself together  and think of what my bodies been through  and im lucky I caught the cancer early and I'm still here. But the answer to yoir question is yes,and I guess many will say the same who's gone through any cancer treatments .

Hi

Ive just posted about fatigue and insomnia.  I had masectomy, chemo and radiotherapy in 2021. Still now wiped out some days. I'm am on the waiting list for a Diep reconstruction so hope my body will cope. Until you've experienced fatigue it's hard to describe,  it's different from tiredness But I suppose a minor side effect compared to the cancer. I thought I might take up swimming in between my walking, working and gardening and being comatose on the couch! ....
