fatigue

[DogmomLM]

hi friends. I am doing well and into week 7 of the O plus V treatment. I have never felt fatigue like this before. I am a very active person and this has really stopped me in my tracks. Have you had the same? Does it ease? Thank you.

I am in week 28 of V+O. I finished O two months ago. First, you have to accept the fact that your body is going through a lot right now. Two types of powerful medicines and the anxiety associated with being in treatment. I certainly felt less fatigued after I finished O. No more infusion appointments and one less powerful drug. I have found that the best way to address my fatigue is to take actions that reduce my anxiety. Healthy diet. 8 hours of sleep. Zoloft. One to two walks/bike rides/swims a day. My wife constantly tells me “Be kind to yourself. You are going through a lot.”

PennyLane2024 is spot on! Some of us have very few side effects, some of us have "more" as we go through treatment. Hopefully your fatigue will ease in time, especially as the emotionality of "I am undergoing cancer treatment" eases up.

Agree with PennyLane, the fatigue got better as I went through the treatment and definitely much better once the O infusions were over. If you are tired - rest, sleep, take it easy. Your body is going through a lot. It should get better with time. Focus on the outcome 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻all the best to you. The first two months were the worst for me.
