How long after undergoing chemotherapy does a person regain their strength?

Someone close to me has had ovarian cancer (a woman in her early 60's). She has undergone surgery for it as well as chemotherapy. Now, about two years later she barely has any energy and gets tired very quickly. I wonder why she isn't regaining her strength now that she's cancer-free. Will she ever gain her strength back? I've seen people beat cancer and get back to being their old selves, healthy as ever. Could her age be responsible for her slow recovery? Does this mean that she may not be getting better, but rather progressively worse?

How long after undergoing chemotherapy does a person regain their strength?
I went in for minor surgery a year ago this past March, in which they found Ovarian Cancer.


Eight hours of surgery, and they removed everything. I was totally unaware that I had cancer. I had no symptoms and was in excellent health. Lived a very healthy lifestyle, vegetarian, worked out 4 days a week and practiced Ayruveda....


I was a stage 1C, with 16 weeks of Chemo every three weeks. Each treatment would last 8 hours.


I really never had any side effects except the hair loss and a bit of numbness in my fingertips and on the bottom of my toes.


I felt wonderful after my treatments as a matter of fact, and really never experienced any reprocusions.





I believe that with your friend, it depends on the type of Chemo administered to her, and how long she endured the treatments.


She definetly needs to inform her Oncologist of this, and ask him is this is a result of the treatment.


If she is cancer free and not needing any further treatment that would interfere with her immune system, then she certainly should have recovered her strength back.


Please insist that she gets a check up.





I would also recommend that she takes Cayenne Pepper in capsul form. This will increase her energy levels for sure. She must take it with food and I would recommend milk also.


I take about 20 different spices and herbs every day, and this is what attributed to no side effects from Chemo....


Everything is natural and can be purchased at a Health Food Store in your area...


If you would like more information as to what spices may help her, please feel free to contact me.





My prayers and thoughts are with her....
Reply:call the surgeon and oncologist.
Reply:She might be severely anemic. Chemo affects bone marrow, which produces blood cells. Sometimes damage is long lasting. It is imperative that she goes to see her doctor for a check-up with some serious blood tests to find out what's wrong.
Reply:it can take up to months , depends on the dose of chemotheray and age .. 2years she should be feel heaps better , need a good to her doctor
Reply:She needs to go to her doctor for a complete examination to see what is causing the fatigue. She may be experiencing a relapse of her cancer. She should have a CT or PET scan to make sure that she is still cancer free . . and even then it is possible to miss lesions. The fatigue seems very suspicious being this far out from chemotherapy and surgery. Get her to a doctor as soon as possible.





Even if it is not a relapse than she should be examined for other health issues.
