Title: Looking for help and guidance 😊
Post by: Josie1612 on April 02, 2024, 12:19:06 PM
Hello, I’m looking for some advice. I completed treatment for cervical cancer in November which caused the menopause to begin. I was prescribed Kliofem 5 weeks ago which has lessened the hot flushes but I’m really struggling with fatigue and lack of motivation. Has anyone experienced similar?

Hi!  R U still under the care of an oncologist or Cancer Nurse?

You may still be in shock which can be wearying.  Be kind to yourself. 

Once I had finished treatment for breast disease, I felt adrift once all my appts. had finished.  I also got fed up with 'being brave' for everyone else  >:( and would lock myself away some days 2 have a Very Good Bawl.

Menopause can play havoc with thyroid function I believe which may cause tiredness.  Also lack of VitD so taking a capsule daily won't do any harm.  Keeping a mood/food/symptom diary may B useful too.

Let us know how you get on.  If U put 'kliofem' into the search box U should find threads to read.
