    Hello silverlady3646, and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're worried about your husband, and that he's feeling so tired. I've found a bit of information on our site about cancer and fatigue which might be of interest.

    Hopefully, someone else will be along soon to share their experiences - I know that tiredness and fatigue are a common problem with our Cancer Chat members. In the meantime, if you'd like to call our helpline, our team of cancer nurses are on-hand to help: 0808 800 4040 (Mon - Fri, 9am - 5pm).

    Best wishes to both of you, do let us know how you get on.
