Hi I had my oncology appointment today to discuss plan. Tubular cancer Grade 1 with Grade 2 DCIS Apparently my HER2 result is still pending and still waiting on blood test to see if I am pre or post menopausal (just turned 52 but had hysterectomy when I was 39 so no periods as a clue!) so not sure yet re what endocrine therapy is needed.

Anyway...question is about tiredness after the five day regime for radiotherapy. Now that it is done over five days for early stage cancer  instead of spread over several weeks I was curious to know how tired it made people feel? I guess it is pretty individual and I am fit and healthy. Did you feel tired during the week or did you feel it after that. Did you work that week or take the week off? My work has a generous sick leave policy. In six years of working there I've only had two days off for illness until recently with all the appointments and surgery, I've blown that out of the water! My job is office based (home working due to Covid) but really full on and I wonder if better to take that time off? My wide local excision was two weeks ago today and I'm back to work tomorrow. I Rads won't start until around Easter.

Appreciate any insights from others xx
