Hi all

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed with IBC in July last year, suffered badly through four rounds of chemo, treatment stopped after 4th round due to horrendous side effects, surgery fopr right mastectomy brought forward to November and 2014 saw me receiving 5 weeks of radiation therapy. Have now been given the all clear, which of course is a great thing but I find myself with the "what nows?" and I am so sad, tear up at the drop of a hat. I am still receiving herceptin and have started daily hormone tablets but I am so tired nearly all of the time. I am too tired to even consider full time or even part time work. I am wondering if there are others like me who have little in the way of support - my daughter (18 and studying year 12) who lives with me holds the belief that because I am home all day, I should be the one doing all the chores - cannot get it across to her that I am just too tired to do it. I am in receipt of centrelink benefits and have now been deemed fit enough to work 15 hours a week by a young woman who apparently believed that once radiotherapy finished that was it, I would be 100% fit and I just am not.  she just didn't get that not having a car would add at least 1 hour's travel each way to my day - assuming of course that there is a job for me somewhere. Let me now apologize for being all doom and gloom, would appreciate any advice or comments thanks Ranveig
