Since my treatment (taxol/herceptin, bilateral mastectomy and DIEP reconstruction, oopherectomy and AI), beginning two years ago, I feel like I've aged a decade. I'm not sure if it's my "supermenopause," the aftermath of chemo, the stress of the whole ordeal or the constant anxiety about recurrence. When I look in the mirror, or at a photo, I see a much older woman. I still exercise, work full time, but I am always more tired.

Have others experienced this? And, if so, what have they done to remedy it?
