Hi.....I am 7 months out from my last treatment and am in remission. My question concerns the great fatigue I still feel.  Does that get better with more time?

    Fatigue

    In my case, I learned I have Hashimoto's, about 7 months after completing chemo.  I also had a number of other imbalances.  Treating those made a huge difference in my energy level.  Good luck.

    What is Hashimoto's?

    Hashimoto's

    Sorry, it's autoimmunity of the thyroid.  Turns out quite a few women I know, who were diagnosed with ovca have this condition.  My naturopath diagnosed it with a thyroid antibody blood test.  Another thing that helped my energy level was addressing issues related to methylation, caused by common genetic mutations.  Www.mthfr.net
