Hi Lynne, I was diagnosed in late 2008 and had chemo & radio throughout 2009. Like you I also live alone (well I live with my daughter, but dont have a partner) and it's difficult when you don't have somebody 'on hand' to do all those odd jobs that need done! To be honest, while I was recouperating I decided to just let the housework go...LOL!...I've never been big on it anyway! I did the bare essentials and that was it! As far as hanging out washing and vacuuming goes, I had my family help me. I also have a large front and back garden and these were let go for quite a while. Your energy will return in time and the warm weather is just around the corner, so hopefully that thought will give you a huge lift!
Bye for now, Celeste
