Re: Is Fatigue a Sign of Mets?

Thanks for your insight. I have not been able to sleep more than 5 hours ever since starting chemo 2 years ago. I suddenly wake up around 2-3:30am every night and can't get back to sleep until around 6, when I should be waking up. My hot flashes are sporadic and vary in intensity. I don't nap during the day because I can't sleep even though I am very tired. I'm sure if I could sleep for longer than 5 hours at a time I would not be as fatigued, but I have tried everything. My body can't heal if it doesn't get sleep. I feel that I am never going to recover.
