I'm so tired...Fatigue After Breast Cancer Treatment

I really feel exhausted very often. As the end of the week approaches, I practically have to drag myself to work. During weekends, I just want to hibernate at home. I even go to bed much earlier than I use to.

I have often read that fatigue related to breast cancer treatment can go on for year. But how long it takes to recovery………god only know!

Sometimes I just want to stay at home and do nothing. I not want to attend social gathering or even meet my friends for a cup of tea nor do I want to attend my toastmasters meetings. When I get to this stage I do a memory check on how many months it has been since the completion of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Oh my… 9 months have passed. I still feel tired and it gets in away of having a good day sometimes.

People do not understand that we cannot be expected to spring back right away into action, although we look healthy.

So to get around my fatigue I now privatize my activities and say NO to others!
