fatique - chemi result.......or?
Yes. Chemo could be making you tired. Remember we are taking some pretty powerful drugs that can affect all parts of our bodies. Chemo kills good cells as well as cancer cells. That is one of the reasons people get side effects. I guess it is like a war between the good and bad going on in our bodies during chemo.
Bill had some very good ideas about diet in his post. I try to prepare all the healthy food I can before my treatment and put it into little covered dishes in the refrigerator, so when I come home wiped out I only have to throw things into the pot for a few minutes and eat. Otherwise I would probably be too tired to cook and end up eating things that are not healthy. I am still tired the next day, so I make that my day of rest without feeling guilty. I can catch up with the work etc.
after I feel less tired.
To be on the safe side ask your doc why you are tired. He or she might have be able to tell you why. ou may be anemic. Chemo can reduce the red and white blood cells. That can cause anemia. Anemia can make us tired.
Hang in there.
