Fatigue

Hi
Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately c has many ways of affecting us and for me my husband was discriminated against in the workplace (yes because of my cancer) and lost his job whilst I was having treatment and then subsequently had a major breakdown whilst I was so ill. His workplace was not understanding (even though he only had a week off work). This meant I became the main breadwinner at a time that I did not really need it - so resting was not an option for me even though it should have been.
This is why I am a strong advocate for people to recognise the effect on family, financial situation and lifestyle during diagnosis and treatment.
One does what one has to do - if it works for you and helps - then do it!
Take care everyone.
