Hi Dr k,
Sorry that you have had to join this group, but you won't get as much support from anywhere else. My husband was a concretor, finished treatment end July 2009 and has not worked since he started treatment. He is not qualified for any other job. He still suffers extreme fatigue, can't even mow 1/2 the lawns. His immunity is extremly low, I have him on Echinasia [sp] for trying to rebuild his immunity.

Thing to remember is that everyone is different. No 2 people are the same. You as a Dr would know to listen to your body, and if you need to sleep, so be it. Excercise [walking etc] can assist, but not if you are unable.

My hubby has most saliva back, and his taste back which is fantastic. Biggest problem for him/us is his fatigue and immiunity. Main thing is firstly to look after you, and try not to get cranky with your carer - assuning it's your wife she might be doing it tougher than you, so don't fob her off.

Good luck for all your future treatment, just get rid of the shitty dis-ease.

J
