@melclarity so pleased to hear you were dale to have the ablation snd steady your heart. It’s these “effects” of radiation/chemo/hormone therapy etc we don’t hear about till after. Which is usually when we’ve suffered them thinking we’re the only one. I didn’t want to ‘complain’ to oncologist about my tiredness, depression anxiety as I felt I should be GRATEFUL for being cancer free. For me it’s like whinging and maybe becoming a hypochondriac after having been ‘treated’ for cancer. I feel like I should be grateful to be alive, and I shouldn’t expect to feel normal again. Yet it seems do many people feel the same. I guess by putting it here helps, but seems to need more publicity so people don’t double whammy themselves by feeling the changes to their lifestyle then feeling guilty for feeling them.
Today im going to allow myself to feel all these emotions, anxiety and depression and that I have and accept them and acknowledge it’s ok to feel tired and lethargic and it’s not my fault. I will do only what I feel like doing today.
