Hi @Afraser. Well done.! I worked pretty much all through chemo and radiation as well. (I think I had about 6 days off over 6 months) Fatigue was never a major problem for me. The hot flashes and chemo brain was a bit of a problem at times though I must admit when you're trying to do 5 things at once. I don't do any structured exercise as such, but as well as my job we also run a farm so there is always work to be done and I'm pretty much moving all day. I found during treatment giving myself projects to do such as painting and renovating was helpful. Having goals just kept me going I suppose.
I just wanted to keep my life as normal as possible. So three months after completing all my treatment, I'm feeling pretty darn good! A few aches and a bit of brain fog every now and then (thank you Tamoxifen). I think the biggest issue I have is that dreaded fear of recurrence which creeps in a lot, but I am sure this is familiar to a lot of people,
