Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You had breast cancer,and had all the possible treatments,as it is the possibility of recurrence is very less.
Probably the reason for the tiredness and the muscle pain may be anemia, or some infection like urinary tract infection,or some thing else.
Take more of green leafy vegetables,pulses,sprouts,and protein rich foods to have blood,general health and resistance against infections.
Most important is i recommend to take,fresh juice of palatable vegetables,twice daily.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
