Hi,
I e the exact same issues.
Was on HRT over 15yrs taken off because ER poss cancer then on Tamoxifen, taken off due to awful probs re vision & extreme loss of cognition. Put on Letrozole then Anastrazole.
I have pre cancer Fybro, CFS, daily migraines & osteoarthritis etc.
Like you my fatigue & all abive symptoms are massively worse. I can no longer ger manage a 15min walk daily. I've had to reduce to every 3rd day & minimise phone calls as it's affecting my haed & body fatigue so much.
Radiation due to be 5 weeks daily & so worried how I'll cope at all.
Like you from 1pm to 7pm I'm on the sofa wiped out.
I've pre cancer always paced my day & always had alternate rest days now nothing is helping.
I too have increased my protein & stopped all alcohol. Life's so hard at the mo...any advise welcome.

Hi
Thank you for sharing your information. It's very difficult because I don't think They take into consideration fibromyalgia Or other issues prior to radiation. For some reason the radiologist thinks fatigue is only three weeks . From what I have discovered from my Breast cancer support group , it can be six months to 1 yr. I also just had to have a zoledronic acid infusion june 3rd. It's knocked the crap out of me. My Dr referred me back today to my endocrinologist to have him get to the bottom of everything. He is a very good physician. Also having blood work today. I wish i had a magic answer. My gp also said cancer treatment is very difficult. Those hormone blockers are horrid I am not taking them.

Hi
I went to my naturopath and she put me on a homeopathic.For depression and my hormone symptoms it is working well. For depression 5htp 50mg. Fir hormone symptoms Unda 212. It is good to see a naturaopathic Doctor because they can.Test your body to see what it responds to.
