Carol,

I read that recovering from treatment takes at least as long as your treatment lasted - for most of us that is well over a year. This made a lot of sense to me. I still feel tired and I have been done with treatment for a year and a half. I do take Femara which probably adds to my fatigue. Give your body the time it needs to recover and yourself permission to take it easy when you need to.
