    Hi Marilyn - I finished chemo in Feb. of 02 and I still have some fatigue. Exercise and eating right will definitely help. There are just some days that I'm "slow," so I just take it easy that day. It also helps me to do some some fun things that make me smile. Good luck and prayers to you.

    Hi, I also finished chemo Oct. 2003. But find I still get tired. It seems to have gotten better recently. THe doctor told me also that I may be one who it just takes longer to get over it. I do excercise at least 3 days a week by walking 3-4 miles in an hour. I also play 18 holes of golf 2 days a week. So hang in there and just try a little more excercise each day.
