I don't think I've seen many posts regarding long-term, post-treatment fatigue, but I'd like to see what others might have experienced.

I'm about 4 years out from surgery/treatment and have been having some real issues with fatigue for the last year or so. This was unexpected since I had experienced a real boost in energy in the first couple of years post-treatment.

Now, however, things have changed. Some days are good, but most days are almost like the draggy tiredness I remember from radiation treatment (but without the burning throat pain!). My oncologist has me on ritalin, which helps some.

This issue has annoyed me enough that I'm actually posting for the first time on this forum after lurking for about 4 years.

Any of you long-term survivors have any experience, advice, or insight regarding fatigue?
