Pat, When I was three months out I couldn't have even attempted the level of physical exertion you must have to do every day in your job. I would have probably collapsed in a little puddle after a couple of hours. I'm not at all surprised you need a nap after doing that full time. One doc I saw last year, who sees lots of lots of oral caner patients through radiation and chemo told me that at about 10 months out (which is what I was then) I was about 70% recovered and the last 30% could take another year and 1/2. So I think the asnwer is, yes, you can get back to full energy but it is really a long slow process. Be patient with yourself (now you know why they call us "patients"--haha)
