Julie
you think you are recovering well from Cancer and I sincerely hope you are but you can't fight a successful battle on more than one front. Give you body time to finishing fighting one battle and to get strong again....Rest when you have too, the family will understand,
..Eat healthily.
..Have at least 7 hours of sleep at night.
No excuses, better a reduced Julie than no Julie at all
must do less no buts ..

Re: Exhausted
Julie you know that I also went through cancer & chemo and I can honestly say that it took me about 2 years before I felt back to normal.During that time, if I felt tired in the day I had a nap, and didn't do all the jobs I wanted to....I just did what I felt able to do. Your family want you with them for as long as possible, and I doubt any of them will leave home because you haven't vacuumed the carpet....so take what rest you need!

Re: Exhausted
Agree with the others, you need rest, take itSo what if the house needs dusting or the clothes need ironing? None of that matters, your world won't fall down around your ears, but it will if you don't look after yourself
Yourself first
Then family
Then work and chores
You can't run on empty forever

Re: Exhausted
Julie, you will know better than I do that we have to listen to our bodies. I’m relatively new to the chemo and find that tiredness is one of the main side effects. But I’m much older than you and retired as is my hubby so I can rest when I need. Do try not to overdo it Julie, save your strength for the things you enjoy doing.
