I don't know what to expect, but I was curious if it is normal to be so tired for days and days after taking 5 days of oral chemo (5 days once a month). It's been6 months of this . Please tell me it will get easier.My boyfriend of 13 years is my life ,he's only 47. But this has taken such a toll on him.He was a very physically fit and vibrant person. Now this glabiastoma has changed alot of plans needless to say.It is stage 4,but you know the radiation and chemo. I just wonder every day.And pray for another one.

My MIL has taken 10 rounds of the chemo Temodar and yes she is very tired for atleast a week after ending the meds.  Some times it is very bad and she doesn't feel well until a week before she starts her next round!  We have learned to take everyday that she feels well and make the best of it.  The week before she starts chemo we have her over for dinner and get her out to the park and things she enjoys.

I see you posted under after treatment...you may get more responses if you post under "brain cancer."

Hang in there and keep us updated.
