Tiredness...just had my second cycle on Monday and this one is making me even more tired..not so much during the night but daytime it's nice and quiet where I live so not much noise to bother with but oh just to get a good few hours solid sleep
Hi
Did you manage to get over for a bit ? My mum slept a lot on chemo . Some cycles more so than other but she would start to read them dose off !
How many cycles are you having ? Number two was the worst for my mum so you never know , it might get better . The other thing we learnt to get on top of was hydration . When she dehydrated she was absolutely exhausted and that was during winter as well .
Hope your ok !
take care ,

Good to hear ! How many cycles do you still have to go !
We have rain here today and flash flooding yesterday so certainly no external dehydration influences in this area !
Take care ,
