You are dealing with cancer and another health problem, both of which are causing symptoms. Then you had surgery which takes awhile to recover from. After that you jumped into radiation which usually makes people tired, especially if it involves daily treatment. If you live in a cooler climate you might also have a little bit of winter blues while waiting for spring.
I would say being tired is the new temporary norm for you, at least until after you finish radiation and have a chance to rest up a bit more.
I hope you and your doctor can come up with a good game plan for after radiation to knock the remaining cancer cells out of your body.
Can you apply for one of the active T DM1 trials? If you or someone who can help you go to
www.clinicaltrials.gov and do a search for T DM1 you can find a list of all the different trials available with locations and eligibility criteria. You can also search for other trials for her2 positive breast cancer on the same site.
In any case I have my fingers crossed for you Pam. Take good care of yourself and don't feel guilty about the naps. Now is the time to do whatever it takes to get well and if naps are part of that it is okay. Check in with us whenever you feel up to sitting at the computer for a few minutes. You are always welcome here.
