HiKellee my treatment finished only 12 m ago, being recent it’s a bit different to your scenario which sounds so tough. I am sending a virtual hug.
I know we are all different but for me, the main things that have helped me has been to get my strength back, so with my neuropathy (only in my feet) I started to learn and practice gentle flow yoga and I increased the frequency of other forms of moderate exercise (swimming and seated rowing).
I am lucky my GP is a cancer survivor and is interested in quality of life. Perhaps after you build up the energy over time it might be worth trying a new GP who could bring a fresh set of eyes and a different set of experiences and connect you with a physio whose patients include people who’ve received cancer treatment.
Thank you Tri, a new GP is definitely something I am considering. Xx
A new GP can make all the difference xx ... I even ended up changing my Onc, as the guy I had originally was useless & wasn't really interested in my case at all, as if I wasn't a 'serious enough' case for him to 'do'?
His first comment was: "Well, what are you doing here?" (He hadn't even read the referral!) ... and it went downhill from there!
I ended up with a lovely female Onc (who also looked after my husband as well when his cancer returned as Mets) and I'll be signing off with her mid year :(
Take care & all the best xx
