I’m on my week off in my first ever cycle. I’m so so so tired. Just want to sleep all the time. No nausea.

My wife, who has been on Ibrance, Piqray for her Terminal Met Breast Cancer spread to her Bones is now on her 8th cycle of Xeloda, she is doing so well it's as if she isn't on anything and here last two Pet scans have come back with Zero Indications of any Cancer, as close to remission as one could be. As to Nausea, the Oncologist has her on Ondansetron. She does have darkening of her hands and feet with hand foot syndrome, but very little of her time as to being tired. She eats a balanced diet of Protein, Vegetables, and carbs as well as some daily exercise, walking, lifting light weights is key to keeping the tiredness away, along with multi vitamins and lots of B 12. She started on 3000 mg a day ( 3 - 500 mg in the am, then 3 -500mg tabs in the pm ) and after the great Pet scans was reduced to 2500 mg per day. In her blood work even her Platelets are coming back towards normal, only liver AST is a bit high and we are using "Milkthistle" supplements to reduce the Liver inflammation. Good luck, praying this also works for you
