What Causes Lack Of Energy After Chemo And Radiation Therapy?
Last year I had 4 months of chemo,breast cancer, a mastectomy, thyroid surgery, and 6weeks of radiation. I do not have any energy at all. I am 75 years old. Is there anything I can do? My doctors keep saying give it time. I think 8 months should be enough to show some improvement. I have to rest in the middle of sweeping my kitchen. Is this normal?
