Hello, and thank you for posting.
I'm sorry you are having these worries about your partner. It is difficult for me to say exactly why he is so tired, both cancer and its treatment can cause fatigue.
I wonder if your husband has a specialist nurse (CNS), Macmillan nurse or you could contact a member of his team to talk through your concerns. Here is a link to living with advanced bowel cancer which may be useful to you and your husband.
Coping with cancer and the side affects of treatment can be hard, I have placed here a link on this which may help.
And here is a link specifically for care givers.
Take care, and you may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Sarah
