Re: Is Fatigue a Sign of Mets?

I think having been through what we have that it's not unusual for our bodies to be fatigued for a good while. Certainly more easily tired. There have been hormonal upheavals too
Lots of healing and recovery going on
And just because we've had cancer doesn't mean that something else might not be going on. Perhaps a low blood count?
Absolutely confer with your doctor. But easy does it!
Keep the faith

Re: Is Fatigue a Sign of Mets?

Thanks for your insight. I have not been able to sleep more than 5 hours ever since starting chemo 2 years ago. I suddenly wake up around 2-3:30am every night and can't get back to sleep until around 6, when I should be waking up. My hot flashes are sporadic and vary in intensity. I don't nap during the day because I can't sleep even though I am very tired. I'm sure if I could sleep for longer than 5 hours at a time I would not be as fatigued, but I have tried everything. My body can't heal if it doesn't get sleep. I feel that I am never going to recover.
