I'm feeling for you, @eddiek. I'm on Caelyx very 4 weeks , for as long as it works and I can tolerate it.

It's not surprising that you are suffering this way. I agree with comments above - both to try your best to accommodate your fatigue and if it all gets too much, ask your onc to adjust the dosage or regime. Sometimes a simple tweak can make a big difference. There are also some supplements that can be helpful in combating fatigue and other side effects. Take care and I hope things improve for you soon.
