I did have some problem which turned out to be caused by dehydration. By the time radiation was over I was an incredible 118 lbs - had not been that low since I was 14 years old. I’ve realized that I don’t drink enough water when I have doctor’s appointments or procedures like MRIs and radiation. I’m afraid I’ll have to go to the restroom so I stop drinking fluids. My cancer treatments were out of town so it added another layer of trying to not have to use a restroom because of travel. The dehydration caused me bowel issues.
I now realize that my body doesn’t bounce back as quick as I thought it would. It was just over a year post surgery that I really started to feel like me. I functioned fine immediately after surgery and through those 12 months, but there were issues here and there that weren’t quite right yet.
