MBC Treatment and Fatigue

[SailKat]

Hi,

I'm new here and want to say hello. I'm curious how you deal with fatigue. I've been on Eribulin over a year and on treatment for 22 months. Walking and stretching helps, but I'm curious about other options. Thank you.

For the fatigue, mind is not severe, but I just started treatment five months ago. I rest more.

I know everyone is different but chemo works the best for me. A low dose of Doxil every 2 weeks does the trick and I’m not losing my hair either. I am slightly fatigued but nowhere near what I was on the hormonal therapies. I had trouble getting up enough strength just to get out of bed some days. I hope this helps, hang in there, there has to be something that will work better for you!! 🤗

Hi, welcome... i usually take a nap . Have to most days cuz i get tired from meds. I pace myself when i exercise. Everyday is like starting over but i just keep going. Im not sure there is much you can do about it other than that. Before cancer i was very active but now im half of what i use to be. However i keep telling myself that I will get back to where i was. Hope i helped 😕

Thank you. This is also what I do. I know it is adjusting to a new, less active lifestyle. I did get a bike and get out on short easy rides. I love the freedom of a bike and when I get tired, I stop, take in the scenery and thank my lucky stars.
