I'm in remission from ovarian cancer, having had 6 long chemo sessions and a big op to remove most of my insides. I'm now on Niraporib as a 'maintenance' drug for the next 2 years. I am also a T1 underweight diabetic (the chemo tipped me from T1 to T2). I get a lot of sickness but can take something to prevent that. My question is about fatigue. I've had fatigue really since starting chemo nearly a year ago, or actually even before that partly from the diabetes I suspect. But now it is the main thing holding me back! I just have no energy. I can go for a walk but if the incline is even slightly uphill my legs ache and I feel I can barely go on. I have a rest after lunch each day and I'm in bed by 9. I just feel overwhelmingly weary and have no energy to start anything. There must be something I can do to help get over this and get my normal level of energy back.
I've defeated the cancer and now I need to defeat the fatigue!
Does anybody know how long this fatigue can last and does anybody have any good hacks to get rid of it?
