I was diagnosed with BOT that had spread to my lymphnodes . Finished treatments 3 years ago three rounds of chemo 35 rounds of radiation so far cancer free at last week's check up .My question is does anyone still have extreme fatigue some days are better than others but never got my stamina back totally .

    take me back

    Timclaren,

     Welcome to the H&N forum, you sound like I feel.  I’ve never got back my former stamina.  I mostly blame it on my now defunk thyroid, but after all my blood tests the doctor says I am at a good level on mediation.

    I don’t know, very little about being tired has been easy to figure out exactly.

    Matter-of-fact I have a blood test tomorrow morning, oh boy.

    Matt

    My doctor has only checked my thyroid once in the three years since my treatments so i will get him to check it .I have never felt the same always tired .I often wonder how people say they went back to work so quickly after treatments .Its been 3 years for me and luckily Im on LTD as i would never be able to keep up with my job in health care .I quess everyone is differnt but those treatments certainly kicked my ****
