I completely agree. The worst part for me has been the drugs after both lumpectomy and radiation. I tried arimidex, could not do it, the side effects made me miserable. I’m on tamoxifen now which is better, but still having major hot flashes and fatigue. I get worn down so quickly, have you experienced this?? I thought after recovering from surgery and radiation I’d get my energy level back, but it’s not happening. I exercise, am active, but still get tired very easily. Wondering if I’ll ever get back to ‘normal’.
