Oh boy I always seem to be complaining. No one to talk to as everything closes down during the weekend in Qld and I've already had that experience the first week of starting Tamoxifen and ADK6/4 trip to emergency to Nambour hospital.

I was told this could happen but I had no idea! Obviously doing too much and should be resting more. How long does this fatigue last?
Today I'm back to thinking is this treatment worth it if I can't live my life. How do people cope.
Thanks for reading

Listen to your body - my hubby used to put himself to bed on about day 2 after his chemo for a good couple of days. I'd give him whatever he wanted to eat when ever he wanted it (as often you don't feel like the standard 3 x meals a day.) It really doesn't matter WHAT you eat, so long as you eat 'something' in that 'off period'. xx Keep up your fluids.
take care xx. You can do this xx
