Was diagnosed with brain tumour beginning of year. Had most of it removed, now having chemotherapy but notice since last session which was my third I have no energy whatsoever. Struggle with day to day chores.
HI Skye12
a warm welcome to the group. Sorry to hear about all that's been going on.
Fatigue is the most common side effect of chemo but it will pass eventually. My husband was diagnosed with a stage 4 brain tumour in Sept 2020 and after his surgery he had 6 weeks of oral chemo/radiotherapy in combination. HIs main side effect was fatigue. It kicked in about week 4 and lasted for about a month after the treatment finished. He was offered further oral chemo but declined. Fatigue was the key side effect sign posted.
