@karendb- Fatigue takes quite a while to dissipate. After my chemo of 16 weeks for my lung cancer it took me a year to feel "normal"- or my new normal. It takes a long time for the damage that the chemicals, whose goal was killing your cells to finish their job and leave your body. The effects of chemo continues because the chemicals don't just stop working on your last day. They continue to work until your body has broken them down so that they can then get flushed away. Remember to continue to drink lots of water to help this. While you are resting on your chair do you think that you'd be able to do some simple chair exercises?

Hi. Thank you for replying. Yes I would welcome any type of exercise tips. I've started walking 200 steps 3 times a day.
