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.

June 2024 no tumours anywhere but left lymph nodes cancer. I refused chemo for what it does to the woman's body, they then suggested a number of difference hormone therapy drugs, including zoledronic acid. First the idea of injecting acid into my veins was a definite no go for me; the side effects of all other suggested drugs were risks I was not willing to take. Oncologist is now pushing radiation. I am about ready to do an extensive overseas trip so I have put on hold my decision despite the fact they wanted to start immediately. Seeing the fatigue women are suffering as a result of radiation is making me wonder whether I should venture down that road on my return.
