During chemo I couldn’t even think about doing things. I thought I was being lazy. I slept a lot! Three months later I can at least imagine things I want to do and do some of them. I look forward to getting better and remind myself that I’m healing.

I am 4 years out. I am stage lll breast cancer. I battled fatigue before diagnosis and thought it would disappear after mastectomies! My blood labs are good. Thyroid good. I am an RN and had to do my own care plans. Fatigue is brutal. I am pushing through. Exercise and doing massages weekly!

I have a rest in the afternoon....doesn't affect sleep at night, but helps....terminal rectal and lung cancer....don't forget to get 20 mins outside in sun, every day!

Stage 3-4 endometrial cancer with only 2 weeks palliative pelvic radiation. I went Whole Food Plant based without added oils/fats. Lost my excess 20 pounds easily. But 2 years since radiation and still Extreme Fatigue. Blood markers fine, but living with uterine cancer. Too big and too Advanced to remove surgically. 🤷♀️

I finished radiation and started hormone blockers for breast cancer. I was always active but now fatigue and sleeping issues is robbing me of the energy to do the things i need to do i can't seem to get the things i need to do done .

Im about to only go to doctors who've had cancer themselves. Some of these doctors act like the hardest thing they've been through was med school. They havent been through anything else and its so obvious when you talk to them. Thats not a person who can relate to you at all so why would i trust that person with my care?
