Is any one else still really tired after finishing cancer treatment? It's been almost 2 years since I finished chemo

I was diagnosed in dec 2022 had chemo radio and Filigrastin injections that finished feb 2024 .. I went back to work but exhausted and finally left work in july 2024 after being back at work for 12 months .. which was also during my radiotherapy. What I would like to ask is, I kept reading and keep reading that the effects of cancer treatment does not last … I just feel that that is not the truth . I feel so tired and I know my body is not as strong as it was pre cancer .. it will be 2 years this June since the end of my chemo and I’m just so tired and in pain in my joints etc .. does it get better ️‍

    Your body and mind has been though a lot.  On the physical side though if you have had chemo that is a toxin and that definitely weakens the body as is a poison.  I made a definite effort to get fit afterwards.  I was lucky enough to win a year's gym membership.  So I worked hard to get my body in the condition it was before.  My body was ravages by the treatment, it took some time.
