Don't just accept fatigue after end of treatment/chemo as normal
Just wanted to let others know about an experience I've had. I finished 4 rounds of docetaxal and cyclophosphamide chemo Feb 2016, finished radiation May 2016 then finished 12 months of Herceptin Nov ...
Nadi, great to hear you're back at work after everything you've been through. I was told the fatigue can last a year or more, I like you, suffer the fatigue and have nodded at the wheel and its frightening. I used to suffer palpitations, but in 2012 after radiation they actually got worse!!!! 2013 I had a massive attack and ended up in hospital. So I had the heart ablation done, fixed it so easily, as it cauterizes the nerve pathways across the heart that cause the irregular rhythm.
I do say too, 2015 chemo threw me into menopause, uuugh and there are times now where my heart tries to go into that rhythm but doesnt, its weird. Im glad I had its done though. I found the chemo absolutely made my heart beat faster, but wasnt palpitations.
Great share Nadi! as I know theres alot of ladies that will relate to this!
