@kmakm . I promise it does get easier- the first 12 months after treatment was probably hardest for me. The machine that was active treatment drops you like a hot potato and everyone else expects you to quietly get on with your 'new normal'. It sounds so ungrateful to be whinging about side effects of drugs which are designed to keep us alive, but all the while we are grieving our old selves. The little parts of ourselves that we've lost, which nobody else seems to care about. Your energy will return. It's particulary hard if you are looking after others at home, but try to throw yourself into something completely new. And look after yourself first, and everyone else second. I really hope that these feelings pass quickly for you. Love Janine xx
