6 months post radical hysterectomy cervical cancer surgery

Hi, my surgery was June 2020 aged 46 following cervical cancer. I seemed at the time to manage this very well and was up and about, back to work by august. I'm now nearly 7 months on and am struggling, given HRT and have gained 1 stone in weight, bloated and struggling with my thighs when walking long distance. I'm obviously speaking to my consultant regularly and have stopped HRT (my decision) due to weight gain but am now struggling again with menopause symptoms! Anyone else struggled later on? Emma
