"Second wave" ????? of exhaustion....
I was just wondering if anyone else experienced difficulties AFTER chemo and radiation were completed. I felt pretty good for the first few months (finished chemo in Nov., rads in Jan), but seem to be VERY sluggish and feeling like a nap everyday after lunch. Have also been in an overall "funk" and finding it hard to get motivated. Everything just looks so overwhelming right now and I get easily turned off (definitely not like me)from projects and chores. My dear friend said she got a "second wave" of exhaustion after chemo. Anyone experienced this?
Love, Kelly
