Hi, this is my second post, I hope it’s in the right place. It’s 2 months since the last of 6 chemotherapies, steroids were finished 10 days ago, Brachytherapy is in 2 weeks time to be followed by 23 radiotherapies, and I thought by now I’d be feeling quite good, but not the case. I had been feeling better, but over the last 3 weeks the fatigue has kicked back in plus old sporting niggles have returned, swollen ankle, knee and wrist and when I walk the dogs, every step seems like an effort, more so now than during the chemo, and hours after the walk I’m really heavy and stiff legged. I’m also noticing myself becoming a bit melancholy, and that is a first for me in my 68 years!
I was just wondering if this is, if not normal, then common. I’m suspecting stopping steroid intake could have a bearing on this, and I recently had my 2nd 6 monthly hormone injection.
Anyway, any views on this would be most welcome, and again, thanks for reading.
