Hello all
I ususally post in the thyroid section, but this is another health matter ,id really appreciate some advice on, if anyone is willing to help .
I firstly had breasy cancer in my late 40s nd had a lumpectomy in my left breast, and 5 nodes out , this took three months to heal and then because of the nodes, i didnt feel completly myslef till 5 years later.. However im now 61, and the breast cancer returned with a vengence, and i had a mastectomy, jan 18th 2024, and a further 2 nodes removed, I have a prosthesis, now , which makes me feel- and look a great deal better, and not lop sided, like i do when i have to have a bath, but i have great difficulty accepting that my body looks dreadful now, so i bathe with a t shirt, so i dojnt have to look at what a mess my torso is, i have been having psychological help with this from the hopsital where i had the mastectomy, but this isnt the prob really.. My maon problemb is the constant exhaustion, and weakness , ( ages ago i had two hips replaced- 2015/16) that left my left hip weak as the muscle colapsed, but now i have lost my left breast, and 2 more nodes form my left side- my left side is very weak, i vemanaged to get my left arm working well, except i cant carry anything with it , and i am permanently exhausted - if i go and do one thing, that needs me to exert physical energy , i spend the next two days in bed as i have no energy at all - like im running on empty permanently, I take B vitamins, and my levothyroxine , for my throid , and my statins, as im over 50, - yes getting to old age- 62 in sept, but i hate this permanently being so tired and weak, i cant exercise because of my left hip replacement muscle has wasted, i can do some gardening , I cant run, and i canmt dance, any more - very upsetting , used t love dancing, and now swimming is right out of the question unless i find some sort of swimming costume that has a prosethis or i will look like a monster ! Please could someone help and guide me towards doing something that will give me energy- since the 'c....r, ( my son had it in his testicle too - at the same time- that was a dreadful shock ) ( hes only 32 ) we both eat healthy food, we stay away from processed food, i always have, i reckon it was due to the fact the phone masts have bee put really low down whjere we live, - as many in mvery grateful for anyones y close have c....r !!! and also there was a huge problem with the water being contaminated, which Thames water HID, !!! So now i order spring water, in glass bottles, and we drink tat as i dont trust all the pfas in tap water!!! but id like to know how to get some energy back please - im a pescatarian , my son is a meat eater, but hes lacking in energy.. too- id be very gratefull for anyones advice..
