I had 6 montgs off work last year fue to mental exhaustion (after ridiculous eorkloads forcyears and compounded by active bullying) I was so exhausted I did nothing...virtually nothing for months. Now I hadn't had cancer treatment then. Even that took months to recover from. I started with small amounrs of exercise. Lime walking around my yard for 5 laps. And I did this aeceral times a day and slowly increased. I focused on nutrition. Ensuring I ate from a wide variety of good groups and increased water. Youvhave had dramatic weight loss. You have had malnutrition because of it. You don't have to have a general anesthetic with this procedure..just sonethibgvto lightly sedate. I am sure yhey are just being cautious and the thickening may well just be radiation flow on issues. ..but you know it's best to just gavecthe check ir it will play on your mind. Csn you look at a really short walk pre work...using minfulness technique and perhaps also in one of your breaks. It might help, one never knows. My thoughts are with you. Things will get better. It just takes time, more time than you'd hope for unfortunately. Kath x
