I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in August 2015. I had 4 x EC Chemotherapy and 4 x Taxol chemotherapy followed by a month of radiotherapy and a lumpectomy. I stayed off work for a whole year and carried on focusing on me and getting better. I was told I was in remission in June 2016 and was shocked but relieved I didn't have to have more treatment or blood tests etc. I thought I was free. I went back to work in September 2016 and that didn't go quite to plan and in October 2016 was back at home off sick I had terrible coughing and pain so bad in my chest... I sounded like I was going to literally cough my lungs up. To my shock (again) I was told I have Asthma as the chemo had made my lungs very weak and as a result now was diagnosed with Asthma! Another illness to put to the list I already had. See I have mild CP which is hardly noticeable and Epilepsy which is controlled atm too.
I am now being currently investigated with my lungs now to see if the asthma is really to do with the treatment. I get fatigue also and really try to be OK everyday. I'm in the house a lot and go out when I can but can't stay out for too long because my chest will hurt or I get tired.
I feel now that I'm just gonna be like this forever and it's got me down. I don't know what to do as I only have my Boyfriend who I see evenings when he comes home from work. Has anyone else found it hard to pick up again after cancer?
