Thank you for your replies. Yes I think an water aroebics class would be good for me as I get exhausted still from walking short distances. Last week, I returned to work against my doctors advice, and unfortunately towards the end of my shift I became so lightheaded, that I collapsed to one knee, and broke out in a clammy sweat with blurred vision. I was then called a lift and sent home. Its really hard to accept at 24 years old that I'm this weak and at times helpless. Im grateful to still be here though and I won't let these lasting affects beat me mentally. Thanks again for the responses and god bless

Hi Jane, thankyou so much for your reply. I don't live in Sydney, I live in the Wollongong area. I'm not entirely sure where the closest physiologist is, that specialises in cancer fatigue. I think I have to do what you said and really start to accept that my life is just going to be much different than what it once was. It's just really hard at 24 to accept that I can't do so many things. But I'm so grateful that I currently have a good prognosis and my surgeries and treatment have been a success. I've noticed that regular vegetable juices with a lot of kale and berries really give me a good boost in energy. Since my surgery, I've cut out red meat and dairy. Which has definitely helped my digestive system and I feel better for it. Its ta a long process/journey as you said and I'm just happy that there is sites like this where I can speak to people who are going through it as well and people can relate to your struggles. Thanks again Jane, I really appreciate it

I am new to the online community. I am 24 and I finished my treatment for tongue cancer 5 months ago (30 radiation treatments to the affected area). I am just really concerned as I'm still so incredibly fatigued everyday. The heat really has a bad impact on me as well. Just wondering if this is normal in some cases? And if there's any tips on how to strengthen myself against the heat and how I can help reduce some of this extreme fatigue? Thanks guys
