Karen,
Since you have been 'at this' so long I feel ok with my own suggestion:
Ask onc (as I did): "What is your experience prescribing Ritalin for cancer fatigue?" His answer was, with wide open eyes: "OH! Good idea!" And he promptly wrote my scrip.
For the past near six yrs since mets dx., my goal has been to try and maintain a decent QOL. Onc has been right there for me in this. Last spring, on into summer and fall, I found I did not do the prior puttering in yard. Was less and less interested in doing anything, let alone have the 'oomph' to accomplish. Needed to rest after showering......
The Ritalin has made me feel so well in comparison.
If this is something you'd be interested in, I would gladly go on to share my little bit of experience with it. Began in late December.
Warm wishes to you,
pattyz
