Hi Meg, I'm still learning this new system, so I'm not sure when this was posted. I finished radio last April 2016 and after 3 weeks I was given the OK to head away in our caravan. I was feeling great, had some light excercise a to do and was ready to 'get better'. Not that easy....I developed a sore tummy which they are still trying to solve. Following a colonoscopy and gastroscope I was told I had chronic inflamed dueodem. Maybe caused by too much acid. Now the surgeon tells me I have low lactase in my system so I'm off lactose food for one month to see if that helps. Also I get very tired and also do a mediation every arvo, if I miss doing that I'm in bed by 9.30pm.
So Meg, it's a long process. I managed to get through active treatment, chemo and radio ok, apart from getting shingles.
So as Deanne suggests take it easy. Do only as much as you can. I also am expending pain in my back and aching in both breasts. I had a lumpectomy in my left breast. This did concern me but the good news is that my one year mammo and ultra sound last month was clear. Phew!
Hope you make good progress, keep us posted.
