Its nice to hear from you. Im glad you are doing well except for the fatigue. That can continue for a while after finishing treatments. Your body needs to heal and rest, fluids and good nutrition will speed that process.
Has your doctor done blood work recently? If so, has your white and red counts improved? Is your blood pressure normal?
Im 8 months past treatments and still struggle with fatigue. For me its due to anemia and my white counts are still low.
I have followed your blog and it is amazing how you went thru this with such a great attitude and just took the whole thing in stride. Best of luck to you.
