...feeling better. I only did radiation, no chemo. But I have learned that anything that stresses my immune system causes me to fatigue and my joints to hurt...more so in the morning.
My solution is twofold. I take aspirin or Advil when I get up. And I always sleep and rest when I need to. Most days that works for me.
I think chemo is probably harder on ones immune system than radiation, so it may take longer to bounce back. But don't rush it. It took months for me to feel normal...and I still tire more easily than before.
