Hey all,

I'm on 7/8 chemo cycles, the first 4 with Oxaliplatin and the last 4 Capacetabine alone. 

The last 2 rounds the tiredness has been overwhelming!! Has anyone else found this? 

Slight lack of red blood cells but other than that the bloods are all good.

Nearly there and praying for sunshine, this gloomy weather isn't helpful for those of us in treatment is it!!

  • Hi  and well done on getting this far - nearly there now. Yes the fatigue is a well known side effect and can build up over the course - be kind to yourself and rest when you need to. Still try and do a bit of exercise if you can but if you need a nap afterwards then have one!

    Yes this heatwave that we’re supposed to be having appears to have bypassed Lincolnshire and it feels a bit dank and gloomy today. My husband says it will be here for the weekend so fingers crossedFingers crossed tone1

    Take care
