I agree your statements 100% but I need to lie down and rest every 3-4 hours. Maybe that’s cuz I m taking KEPPRA too, for seizures weight control is possible if you eat correctly as you stated. Fatigue is my biggest enemy.

You're right that fatigue is brutal. The best way to beat it is moderate activity, but fatigue keeps you from being able to do that activity, so it's a vicious cycle.
My physical recovery from the metastasis on my spine was a real rollercoaster for the first year (especially combined with radiation, ADT, and ARSI): a bit of activity? OK. A bit more? Feeling good. Another 5 minutes? Over the cliff and mostly in bed for the next week or two. Rinse and repeat.
The line between "enough" and "too much" can be razor thin, but I'm glad I kept trying.
