Re: Fatigue, and the Cancer Card.
I bounced back rather well from treatment but this spring went on a slow decline. I think I was unusual but I was doing targeted nutrition which helped immensely -- based on blood labs by my naturopathic oncologist and additional research into the adrenal and liver basis of my disease on my own.
I have read of others who had a very rough go with TCHP, including a woman my age (mid-40s) who almost died. How our bodies respond is do individual.
I'm sorry you feel pushed to work once again. I was working too but I think I can mostly put that to rest now except for small consulting projects.
I guess I would say to you to get more blood labs done and see if you can help heal your body more. Here are some things to check:
Serum zinc
Ceruloplasim
RBC magnesium
Serum magnesium
Ferritin
Vit D3
