  • Ted,

    That sounds so familiar. The treatment takes a lot out of you physically and the stress takes a lot out of you mentally. It takes a while to recover.

    On the practical side, I can only echo what Kim has suggested. It would also be worth chatting with your GP and explore whether you are clinically depressed. Tiredness and insomnia can be symptomatic of depression. 

    Best wishes
