I’m on fec t but I have found that the weakness in my legs is very bad for the first week after chemotherapy. I have lipodema too which doesn’t help, don’t feel guilty for what you can’t do, ask for help and when you are strong enough try not to over do it xx

Yes indeed. I would mention it to your oncologist -could be a vit/mineral deficiency. We always blame e erything on the treatment.....it might be but best to check if theres any ither cause

I’m on Herceptin and Letrozole too and my legs tire easily if I’m stood up too long. Also my ankles are stiff and painful every morning so I literally hobble first thing in the morning as I get out of bed until they soften.

Hi I suffer from this too, I take pure Aloe Vera juice which I buy online on e-bay. It helps with my legs and gives me more energy . Also a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement helps with Folic Acid too .
