I feel a little guilty about coming on here again. After all it is 20 months since my mastectomy and I didn’t have to go through other treatment like many people on here have. I moved a year ago about 6 months after the op and this is the first Summer with a little garden for many years…so grateful for that.
But this is what I am worried about.
I have been trying over the last few weeks to do things in the garden that I haven’t done for years as my health wasn’t tip-top before the diagnosis. On Friday I cut the grass (not a big lawn but quite fiddly to do) and did some other bits and pieces and since then I have been flaked out. Particularly today when I am aching and so tired that everything is such an effort…fatigue not tiredness I guess.
When I have been weeding a little my hip does not take kindly to bending over nor being laid on and I imagine that is just about age, although I have never had the problem before. So I find strategies for coping and sit and enjoy the trees instead.
Is this connected I wonder to the whole breast cancer thing or just me!
Do other people with only a mastectomy go on feeling so tired and achy?
