Hi , i've not posted for ages , i've been in limbo. I had to stop my immunatherapy 6mths ago and then wait for the side effect to calm down. Im so tired all the time and secretly worried about what then beasties are doing .im seeing.my consultant in 2 wks and dont want to ask silly questions . Does anyone else have such consistant fatigue ,any hints on how to ease it ? I hope every one is having a gentle dayb
Hello Africa1
Good to see your name pop up . Sorry to hear you had a rough time . I was actually just reading a thing about cancer /treatment fatigue from a drug company the other day . I will have a look to see if it had anything worthwhile to say ( if I can find it !)
Take care ,

It was actually a Pfizer one but it only suggested exercise but no detail . Linked in the above one that seems more holistic .
Mum does get tired but I still try and get her out everyday as I feel it’s worse if she does not get out .
I will keep looking .

Hi Africa1. I have well-being counselling and they talk a lot about pacing. It can be difficult at times but try and do some physical activity when you are least fatigue. That act in itself can help you feel better - endorphins and all that! Regulating your sleep pattern might also help. I’ve read it can be helpful to go to bed around the same time each night so my phone now chimes when it’s bed-time. I get particularly fatigued from 3pm onwards but seem to perk up again after 8pm. A psychologist suggested that I listen to my body and take an afternoon nap but worried that will impact my regulated sleep pattern.
Hope this is of some help to you.
