It can take about a year to get over the effects of chemo, though of course you feel better during that time. I had my operation 4 weeks after chemo finished and I remember thinking that I could have managed a slow, short jog at about 2 weeks after surgery if I hadn't had the surgery, so my energy only started coming back at about 6 weeks.

When I spoke to my oncologist about continued water retention 5 months after chemo finished, he said it was still early days.

I also had my op about 4 weeks post chemo and yes it takes time to get rid of the fatigue.
it will happen so sorry you have to be patient. Do a bit and relax - don’t overdo it - your body will tell you !
