Tiredness

Hi I’ve been diagnosed with NHL and luckily I’m under the active monitoring team, but what I have noticed is that I get extremely tired after doing a couple of days work or have a busy weekend! 
Can you tell me if this is normal and any advice on how or what I should do to help! 
I’m find I just fall asleep as soon as I get in from work and fall asleep for at least an hour. 
Is this what happens to you guys ! 

many thanks 

  • Welcome to our forum, trish-24,

    I’m sorry to hear about the fatigue you’re experiencing, it must be tough, especially while managing everything else.

    It might help to pace yourself throughout the day and give yourself permission to rest as needed, even if it means taking a nap when you get home from work. You’re not alone in this; many others who are going through similar experiences also find themselves needing extra rest, and I hope some of our members will be here soon to share their experiences with you.

    If you’d like more advice on managing fatigue, we have a page on our website that you might find useful: Fatigue and Cancer.

    Additionally, if you ever need to talk to someone or have specific concerns, you can reach out to our team of nurses. You can contact them on 0808 800 4040, and they’re available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

    Wishing you all the best,
