Over the past few days, I've become unbelievably tired. Physically exhausted, weak, in a way I've never experienced before. Can barely get up out of my chair. Did some online research and it seems like this is a "normal" sort of response to the radiation and chemo -- at least normal for some people. So you may be hearing less from me for a while as I'm going to try to focus on rest and nutrition and healing. I'll probably ask family members to keep you guys posted on the days when I just don't have it in me.
Other than the extreme fatigue, I actually feel better -- still no return of the neurological symptoms from the tumor -- and I do notice increased mental clarity. Just no freaking energy.
In my research this morning, I found a really great site that talks about this fatigue issue and thought I'd pass it on here for those of you who are interested. There's a lot of information, links leading to other great links. Probably more info than most of you need but lots there if you want it.
