ET

Diagnosed with this condition in 2015 after I fell and fractured my shoulder routine blood test then discovered high platelets and also had to have bone marrow test. Had no problems with condition or treatment until now as I am now beginning to feel fatigue etc.  Yesterday I was going to check out the theory about exercise giving you more energy by going to the gym but I sat down for a few minutes and fell asleep. You have to laugh but I will try again.

  • Hi Pataito and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry the fatigue has started to kick in now Pataito. I hope the tips we have on how to manage this will come in useful but if you'd like to chat with someone about this then our cancer nurses are just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040. Their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I'm sure some of our members who have the same diagnosis or have experienced fatigue during their treatment will share their advice and experiences with you soon but in the meantime take things a day at a time and you'll get there :)

    All the best,
