Had radical hyserectomy: Why am I still so tired almost 3 weeks out?

Posted by hlthcr2000 @hlthcr2000, Feb 26 10:17am

Should I still be soooo tired? I do a few things- then just want to go lie down. It will be three weeks tomorrow.
Psychologially, I seem fine- not upset or depressed although concerned about transportation to chemo once that''s scheduled.
Is or was anyone else just sooo tired? My family members seem to not understand.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Gynecologic Cancers Support Group.

I do understand what you are saying. It's been over a year since my hysterectomy but I do remember the tiredness.

It does get better just listen to your body.

Eat lots of protein. Try ensure with 30 grams of protein. Keep busy, walking is a great way to build up endurance.
Praying for your recovery!

@hlthcr2000, I know you're getting ready to start chemo soon, but I wanted to check back into this discussion. It's been almost 5 weeks now since your surgery. How is the tiredness? Getting better every day?
