Recovery time

I just finished 5 weeks of both chemotherapy and radiotherapy and have completed recovery. My question is, when can  I expect to feel better

  • Hello usramfan,

    Recovery can take time so the best person to speak to would be your doctor, who will have a better idea of how to manage your recovery. Keep them updated on any issues or side effects and them might be able to suggest ways to improve things. We have some information on coping with cancer on our website, which I hope will be useful in the meantime.

    I hope this helps,

  • Hi usramfan

    Everyone is different, but it took me about 4 weeks after finishing chemotherapy before I noticed any significant improvement in how I felt.  Then after that, I noticed small improvements every few days.  Be patient, listen to your body and get plenty of rest.  Don't rush into anything and you will soon start to feel better. 

    All the best.
