    Yep! Coming up to 2 years since surgery and radiation followed by tamoxifen. Dragging my feet around. Tried going back to gp. Tried antidepressants, changed jobs, struggle with finding regular exercise

    It wouldn't hurt to get a full blood test!  I was also lacking energy and felt so tired after all my active treatment, so my GP ordered a full blood test.  It showed that I had hypothyroidism, so I am now taking medication for that.

    Also, remember that it can take a while to "bounce" back from cancer treatment.

    Best wishes.

    I’ve stopped HRT a month ago l, surgery 3 weeks ago and been on letrozole only a week. I am having hot flushes and am also really tired. But I’ve been pretty tired for years 🤔. I’ve never had any energy for housework!! I want to start exercise soon but still a bit tender after surgery. Walked the dogs the other day and I think I did some damage inside so now I’m scared to lift anything.

    Sounds like you have had a bit of a rough time @Stormbird63, I noticed you mentioned anguish on another post too...how have the last couple of years been for you?
