Unfortunately for us, the world doesn't stand still so we can rest when we need to. Kids football games, fall festivals, work, fundraisers... the list goes on and on. I'm feeling ya! Life, somedays, is almost more than I can bear and I cannot wait to collapse into bed. I'm 7 months out from chemo, heceptin continues thru February. I have seen, with myself anyway, that every 6 weeks or so, I get so tired all I can manage to do is the 8 hour work day and sleep thru til it starts again the next day. Kids are tired of leftovers from grandma's house and soup and sandwiches after a week of this.
I think we do try to act normal, so everyone expects we are back to our former self. I say that sometimes, you just need to shut it down, stay in your jammies one day and lie in bed drinking tea and watching Little House on the Prairie re-runs.
I don't think it is anything abnormal for us, but if it still worries you, ask your doc just to be safe.
