Breast cancer Fatigue does it end ?

Hello everyone

My first time posting here ... 

Diagnosed with breast cancer grade 2 in october 2019 Operation in november Nodes was clear started radio and hormone in December which has just finished!

Before being diagnosed i had noticed i had this new cant be bothered attitdude and a tiredness that was not easing i thought i was just overworking myself :| 

Just wondering hoping if anyone with the same experience had the fatigue lift or will this be something that is here to stay :)

 

 

  • Hi Miss Loopy

    i was also diagnosed with breast cancer in October 19 , had surgery, lymph nodes removed. I’m on Letrozole and currently having radiotherapy.

    i was expecting to feel tired whilst on radiotherapy treatment, but hadn’t expected the wave of despair, fatigue and utter wretchedness.

    as a positive, active person, I am now feeling so low and cry at everything. I think it’s the Letrozole causing the feelings of despair. Like you, I have no energy and am feeling as if life as I knew it is lost forever.

    I hope that these feelings go away. It’s 2am, I’m back at the hospital for a week of radiotherapy and although my treatment is almost over (7 more radiotherapy sessions) I wonder whether I will feel normal again?

    desperate for some positive feedback and hope for the future.

    Its sad also to hear your side on this hard journey life has took us on , its really not like a tired you can imagine it takes everything from you. 

    your nearly there with only 7 more sessions. 

    i also had the current wave of crying and feeling low which passed after a few days so thats a positive thing hopefully yours has passed too :)

     

     

  • Hi Miss Loopy ( love your title)

    im sorry to hear that you have had tears days. I honestly think that it’s good to be able to cry and let it all out. My husband can’t understand why it’s so hard to deal with so I try to put on a brave face, when I actually want a good sob. 

    How this changes our lives! So much More than just losing a breast.

    i wish you happiness and well being. Get better lovely missloopy. I hope that you have some one who can support you through this.

    from someone trying to find herself again. I’m going to grab my life back by storm once I’m fixed up next week.
