Fatigue greater from 2nd round after liver surgery? Experiences?

I had 6 rounds of chemo and the fatigue and other side effects weren't too bad. This was then followed by liver surgery to remove one met. I have resumed chemo and after the first infusion the fatigue was hit sooner, harder, and lasted longer. I started the chemo ~6 weeks after the liver surgery. Granted I'm not as strong as when I started treatment. Does anyone else have experience with this?

    No liver surgery, but I can tell you that my fatigue in my second round of chemo is much more noticeable.

    That said, could depression be a factor (many of us get a bit of this as we progress through treatment)? If so, adding an anti-depressant to the mix might be helpful.
