I think I will be having these issues also. Still having infusion therapy every couple weeks. Will have pet CT scan in couple weeks. Cancer on tongue was almost gone the last one. Still on feeding tube. I guess I want to be all better too fast and have to be more patient. It seems like so much work and I get very frustrated. I have lived with my son who still has a son living at home and s daughter a junior in college. I will be 76 Dec 15th, lucky to still be alive and thanks to my oncologist and team. I need some advice just starting this healing process. I see this recovering brakes time and patience! Prayers appreciated.

The treatments take time and the healing will take time as well. You need to accept that reality. Your body is going through a lot and it will take time to heal. As you recover try not to compare on a day to day basis, instead try comparing it month by month. This way you will notice change and hopefully reduce the frustration on a daily basis.
For me it took about 6-8 months to feel almost normal again, It all varies though.
