Hi Helen!
I have been done my treatments for a week now, and am already starting to feel some energy coming back. Mornings are great! I have gone back to line dancing, begun doing yard work, and have done some bike riding. Afternoons are low energy, usually spent reading and napping. Evenings are nice and relaxing, usually watching hockey! Other than fatigue, my stomach is still the biggest issue, but yesterday felt a bit better. I am very careful about timing meals and outings. I have started to reintroduce some forbidden foods back. I have noticed some pain in my hip bones and pelvic area, but I was warned that this could happen. If anything, movement and exercise help. I am just so happy to be home. Good luck with your May appointment, and please feel free to tag me as you see fit.

@dlgbb I'm very happy to hear that you back home and are feeling your energy return. I imagine that fatigue will take a little time to go away. In the meantime, it does sound like you are listening to your body, as we say, and taking the time needed to recovery. I also found that exercise, especially walking, was helpful during radiation therapy and after I returned home.

I will certainly tag you as you are now in expert in surgery and radiation therapy. Isn't it amazing what we can endure during a time when we think we do not have the strength?
