After seeing my oncologist on Thursday it was decided not to continue with the Taxol and I will move on to radiation in a few weeks so I hope that will give me a little time to recover. How long does it take to regain some energy after chemo ? I am trying to do some light exercise every 2nd day or so and hope to slowly regain some of my fitness.
With radiation how has anyone found the fatigue levels ?

You are doing exceptionally well to be getting some energy back alreadyso soon after chemo.You may not get too tired from radiation.I only got abit tired about half way through but nothing like "chemo"tired.I love the creative combo name you chose.Enjoy your few weeks off treatment.

Hi Jo,
I am waiting to hear when I will be starting radiation so I have had a couple of weeks to recover from the chemo and already I am feeling a lot better. I havn't had to have an afternoon sleep all week and because of that I am sleeping a lot better at night.
Thought I would let you know how I picked the name Nellsbell. My real name is Helen and a friend of mine calls me Nell and through out my life I have gotten " hells bells " so I combined the 2 and came up with nellsbell.
Cheers Helen xx
Hi Tonya,
I am waiting to hear when I actually start with the radiation so I am having a few weeks to recover from the chemo and already I am feeling a lot better. I havn't had to have a sleep in the afternoon this week and am sleeping at night a bit better because of it.

Hi Again Nesbell,
To be honest i was really tired through the Radiation and have not really started to get some energy back till September. I finished 30/6/2011. I finished chemo 3/5/2011. I must admit though that I did nothing and pretty much just gave in to the lethargy. So if you keep up your gentle walking it will probably help you.
Good Luck and keep up the sorbolene as often as you can to avoid burnin.
Cheers Jo
