    Hi Tina

    I know how you are feeling luvy as I am sure so many women on here will contest to wanting to get back out there and bounce back.

    All I can say is you need to be patient.  Don't be hard on yourself and give your poor old beaten chemo body a chance to re-energize.

    It is a hard thing to do and the more you OVER PUSH yourself the harder it will be.  Just do what you feel you are up to.

    I had my last Taxotere chemo back on 20th June this year and i would say it took me about 8 weeks before I was feeling human again.  I did suffer with a lot of major pain and fatigue and then I had shortness of breath following the last chemo.

    Just give yourself time, not what you probably want to hear but your poor body has just been through a very harrowing experience and needs a bit more nurturing for a while and I am sure you will start to feel different soon.

    Just remember everyone is different and is affected different.  If you continue to feel sad and down in a few more weeks then I would probably talk with someone in your medical team but it is only very very early days.
