It’s exactly 2 weeks today since I finished radiotherapy and today I felt like I had my energy back.
I hope you feel less fatigued soon. I def found I felt worse if I didn’t keep my fluids up. You can still become dehydrated very easily for a few weeks after treatment so drink plenty throughout the day, this may help.
Hopefully your workplace will be understanding. You have been through a lot and are still healing.

Adding that long drive sounds extremely difficult! Hope it went okay for you…
I had 20 sessions with a 30 min drive each way, and found that quite exhausting. If I hadn’t been working part time, I don’t think I could have managed.

Dear cvd
Well done for getting this far with your treatment, radiotherapy can make us very tired. Please take good care, drink plenty of water, eat good food, a short walk each day will make all the difference, but most of all be kind to yourself.
As regards going back to full time work, I really don’t think you’re ready for that at the moment, You need more time, breast cancer and treatment is not a walk in the park you need time to recover. My suggestion is call you HR department, ask for your part time hours to be extended.
Wishing you well, with lots of happiness going forward.
With the biggest hugs Tili
