Recovery with other chronic illness/disease
I'm through treatment (surgery and radiation) and the stress of making the huge decision not to take AI’s (pure mucinous carcinoma) and. Y onco team is fine with that. But I suspect like many, breast cancer is not my only life or health issue. Five weeks after radiotherapy I’m so fatigued I’m having trouble doing much. I also have diabetes, severe kidney disease and heart failure, the latter managed by a device that restricts my heart rate range. Not whinging as these are things I have under fairly close to optimal control. And it is what it is. But I don’t know how to get past this fatigue. I'm exercising in small doses, increasing strength training (also in small doses) but my zest for life has disappeared. Is this normal? I usually paint, and crochet and garden and cook and read and play my guitar. Not sure where to turn to or whether to just wait it out in hope. I’m either under or overdoing it. Ideas?
