Hi,
Had 2nd carboplatin on Friday for 3rd line treatment.
Just feel totally exhausted (more so than usual)
Trying not to resort to bed during the the day but lounging on sofa trying to stay awake.
Anyone else had this problem? Any tips?
Temperature, and appetite fine. Neutrophils 1.6 before treatment so may be that.
Fingers crossed
Janet

It's very very common. Since chemo is cumulative, the build up after each treatment creates more fatigue. rest when your body tells you too.

Thanks for reply. Think I'm just disappointed as I was feeling quite well before it started again.
Take care

Dear Jan,
I always get wiped out the first week after infusion.
Let yourself relax and don’t be ashamed to stay under the duvet for several days.
The chemo will work it’s toxic magic and you will gradually be functional again.
Best wishes,
Laura

Hi Laura
Thanks for reply. Getting annoyed with myself (know it doesn't help). Hope it's just the usual hiccup I usually get after 2nd Chemo then things start going to schedule.
Hope you are feeling better and that the trial is going well.
Best wishes
Janet
