Anyone struggle to move on? [View all]

I had flu in April 2025. It turned into bronchitis. A few weeks later I was diagnosed with uterine cancer. I had surgery a few days after I had finally stopped coughing. Was recovering from surgery when they recommended radiation. The radiation was supposed tu be easy but it really hit me hard. I'm still very tired. Anyway now I have the flu again. I have done my best to get strong but at this moment I'm really, really discouraged. I know this is a bad flu but I've spent the better part of 4 days in bed and I'm just limp. My chance of cancer reoccurance is pretty low and I feel like I should be happy but I've got nothing.

It's a long explanation but has anyone else struggled after treatment? I'm not bouncing back...
