Re: severe fatigue

Gee Pam,

So sorry that you are having to spend so much time in bed. I am hoping and praying that your strength will slowly start to reappear as time goes on. My 2cents would be: walk around the house for 2 minutes every 2 hours to keep your muscles moving and thinking. Try and eat very nurishing food. Chat on the phone to try and take your mind elsewhere. Let friends come by for not more than a 15-minute visit. Let people help you and drive you whenever possible. I wish I could come over and help. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am of course hoping the tumor markers will come down too.

All my best,
