In terms of fatigue, I was definitely more tired for the month or so after treatment ended than during it. I actually had a bit of insomnia during treatment. I think I was in "fight" mode the whole time and it was hard for me to relax, even though my body may have been tired underneath it all.
Hang in there, although you may be feling worse for a little while, in another seven weeks you'll be up the mend and feeling better........
