I was thinking it was just me that was getting tired, tired, tired. I've been in PT trying to build myself up again, but had to stop the cardio workout because my skin is getting too fragile: blisters on my toes, split skin on heels, finger tips, etc. My MUGA didn't change significantly (at least it's not worse), but I'm now crashing and falling asleep by 8pm by mid week, and I'm only working half time. I was hoping I was just out of shape. I stopped Xeloda a week ago to see if my skin could repair some, and I'll go to onc's office Monday for them to check - if our little tropical storm Gabrielle behaves and doesn't go hurricane on us. Have you had any problems with mouth sores as well?
