I finished my chemo in May 2013 and still suffer some issues. I have been told the fatigue will be there for years. What a bummer, as for picking up bugs last year I seemed to get everything that was going around.
I had renal cancer as well as breasdt so required kidney surgery after my chemo but before my raditation so my treatments/surgeries were very drawn out with me having my last surgery November 2013. I think this impacted my general health.
What I did, after my radiation was finished myhusband and I took a holiday to Cairns, 10 days relaxing, swimming and recouperating. I started back to work after that and worked all 2014.
In Sept/Oct 2014 I took a months longservice leave and over christmas did the same. I find that I tire easily and have needed the breaks.
Good luck wuith your recouperation, be kind to yourself and you will come through just fine.
