Side effects worse than the actual treatment

​

Does anyone else feel that post treatment side effects and support is something that is glossed over and is a constant fight to get heard and follow up treatment.

I'm so incredibly angry that noone went through any of this in detail prior to treatment - so much for making an informed decision.

I feel so much anger at what treatment has left me with -

- radiation induced osteoporosis in my hip and lower back

- colo-rectal issues where I can't control my bladder and bowel

- Instant menopause and HRT complications

- lymphoedema

- extreme fatigue 6 months after treatment

I feel stuck and can't move on. Surely there is a better way to support patients post treatment. Would love to hear how others are moving forward 🙏
