Had CAELYX last Wednesday and hit the wall yesterday with OVERWHELMING tiredness.Doing ok otherwise thank god, nausea not too bad.Has anyone else experienced this.Hope everyone doing ok.

Yes Marn,

Exhaustion hit me on day 7 also. It will pass. I did develop a rash on my body during week 3, just about got my second dose of chemo. If you notice a rash spreading from your chest, do get on to your team. It is important to stop it getting worse. Caelyx seems to suit me, I can tolerate it and hopefully it's effective too. M

Marn yes fatigue seems to be the main s/e of Caelyx . I just finished a six month course of it . Like Cathanne it suited me b well except for tiredness so from December on I was put on half dose forthrightly . Give your self a little time an talk to your team Marn .

Hi marn. On it fortnightly and yes - fatigue is one of the hardest side effects for me too. Be kind to yourself. X

YES...I have been fatigued for three weeks now on Caelyx and finding it very tough as I like to get about. I haven't had much nausea or pain but the overwhelming tiredness is awful,, I go see my Onc on Friday and going to see what he says. You are not alone !!! Tracy

I have just finished 6 months of carbo caleyx.  It was tough going and the fatigue was something else ! Really frustrating and seemed to go on for weeks after each chemo.   My Onc told me I had to be kinder to myself.  Easier said than done when you've children xo
