New podcast on fatigue

Question

Hi everyone&nbsp;Last night I listened to our latest podcast from Upfront about breast cancer series. I wanted to post in here in case you had missed our promotions.&nbsp; This edition focuses on fatigue and includes Rina, who is living with metastatic breast cancer. I think Rina and the other guests provide some really helpful and practical information.&nbsp; It may even be very helpful for your support team.A link to the podcast is here:&nbsp;&nbsp;https://www.bcna.org.au/understanding-breast-cancer/resources/podcasts/episode-34-managing-fatigue/I hope you are all looking after yourselvesCheers Kirsten

Not sure if this belongs here on on Friday funnies -
“I have been meaning to listen to this podcast but I have just been so damn tired”.😊
Seriously though I found radiotherapy whacked me for 6 in the tiredness stakes and having just reached 6 weeks post DIEP flap surgery one of my favourite sayings has become “ be kind to yourself and don’t be afraid to say no to things if you need to rest”.

Hi Arpie.yes coming along well.I have started driving again and been to the physiological for specific exercises.Also back to daily walks.I still get tired but listen to my body and don’t overdo it.I did listen to this podcast and it was good, one of the ladies is a BCNA staff member and another had 3 smell children when diagnosed.Everyone has their own story breast cancer fatigue - it’s comforting to know we are not unique in that.
