After treatment
Hi
Surgeries are done radiation is done starting tamoxifen I feel lost after living this for 6 months I was so happy the night I came home from radiation being completed now I just feel a sadness and empty it's very strange does anyone else feel this way after they're done their treatments surgeries. I live alone and I had to go to another city to have my treatment so had to live in a hotel where there were other cancer patients so you constantly had people around you to talk and maybe that's the issue not sure plus I have the fatigue after treatment and just don't feel up to doing a lot

1 ReactionMy doctor, who was about 55, expressed "surprise" that I was "still so flat" for the best part of a year!!!
Agreed on both counts! Diagnosed with triple negative at age 66 (almost 72 now) and underwent 8 months of treatment. I befriended my young chemo infusion nurse and had a wonderful team overall-oncologist, surgeon, radiologist and their staff. I did miss them and their reassurance when my last treatment ended. That being said, I am hoping not to experience that eight month again.
I wish I could remember how long I needed to nap in the afternoon. It was a long time-maybe a year? I wasn’t working or raising kids so I could and I did-without guilt. People don’t understand that there’s a difference between fatigue and just feeling tired.
Listen to your body and give it what it needs to the extent that you are able.
Best wishes,
Cindy
