Hi John Jack Thank you so much for your reply. You do not realise how much hearing this has relieved me. I understood that fatigue can go on for years as I was warned about this. It's just that I felt normal for almost 3 months so thought it was over and yes it is the hitting the wall fatigue is what I am experiencing. The timing is lousy though although its never a good time to be this fatigued. thank you again cheers Chery

Hi Di thanks for response. Good that the Xeloda has less side effects. I can understand your reluctance to want to be on them long term. I too would be worried about what it does to the healthy parts of your body. I guess though if its the difference between living and not, then its a good thing. As I mentioned earlier I am no longer a candidate for further treatment so I am feeling quite anxious about-1. what is causing this fatigue and 2. if all ok, what if it does return. Hopefully is isnt anything and if for some reason it does return, that it is a long way off and that I will be healthy by then. I was looking forward to this holiday but as it gets closer, I am feeling more apprehensive as the fatigue is really got me in its grasp. At this stage I dont even think I will make it through customs. Hopefully my determination will win out though!!! I let you know. due to leave on the 6th April. Cheers Chery

hi I finished treatment (chemo and radiation) for stomach cancer in August 2010. I went through several months of extreme fatigue but since December have been felling almost normal until approximately 2 weeks ago. My fatigue has come back and it seems to be worse than ever. I dont want a scan because I am due to go on holiday in 3 weeks and dont want anything to ruin it (doctor has said I cant have anymore treatment anyhow). Wonder if this is normal for fatigue to return due to the treatment(without the cancer returning) after a few months of feeling well. Has anyone else experience this? cheers Chery

HI Di thanks for your response and the welcome. I've never heard of oral chemo, must be better than having a needle stuck into you each time. How long do you have to have that for? I am definitely going on my trip. I love Bali, been there quite a few times but never for a month. For most parts I'm not worrying, just now and then but when I get into holiday mode, I've made a promise to myself NOT to worry. Hope all goes well with you also. love and happiness cheers Chery

Hi, I'm Chery and new to forum. Even though I was diagnosed with (stomach) cancer just over a year ago, I didn't know this forum existed (found it accidentally). As mentioned I was diagnosed around this time last year, 3 weeks before I was due to go on a months holiday to Bali. Needless to say the holiday was cancelled. In its place was a barrage of medical interventions etc… Since then I have had most of my stomach removed, radiation and chemo treatment. Now things are looking as if life is going to return to normal, albeit a new normal. 12 months later I'm attempting to go on my trip to Bali again (now not just a holiday but a celebration) which is in just over 3 weeks and I am soooooooooo looking forward to it. I was feeling really well until 2 weeks ago. Now feeling overwhelming fatigue, weight loss (which I don’t have to lose) so went to doc's and of course got some tests. Received a bad liver function result so went to see Oncologist. He won’t do scan because I am not well enough to have any sort of treatment. Normally I’d jump up and down about this because I’d want to know what is going on, but, I really want to go on my trip without definitely knowing that it has metastasized to my liver. I know that sounds crazy because I might be worrying for nothing. So now I am trying very hard to stay positive, not just for myself but for my 16 yo daughter and my sister and her 15yo daughter who are coming on this trip with me. Anyhow cheers to all who read this and love and light to you all Chery Question: Has anyone else experienced extreme fatigue after feeling well for some time and it just being part of getting over treatment? For last 2 month I have been feeling almost normal. It has been just of 6 months since my last treatment.
