Tiredness 9 weeks post surgery.. is this common?
Hello I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy over 9 weeks ago and have recovered very well apart from a lingering tiredness. It does not seem to get mentioned on this site, so just wondering whether this has been the experience of others? I am not sure whether it is just my body getting over the mental and physical trauma of initial diagnosis, surgery and all the decision making along the way (!) - or what it could be really. I get to sleep very easily however often wake about 4-5 hours later and from thereon the sleep quality is pretty average, so it could be that also. Radiation commences in a couple of weeks... Would love to hear the experience of others to know whether this is "normal" or not.. Thank you
