I also found fatigue to be my biggest side effect of treatment and like Pink Girl, it took me about a year to feel myself again.
I began walking thirty minutes a day (although did'nt feel like it) and swimming other days and little by little my stamina and well being improved and I found I had more energy.
Your body's been through a lot and not finished yet, cut yourself some slack and know it will get easier but takes time
