Fatigue

Having had a stoma fitted in January of this year, followed by 5 1/2 weeks of radiotherapy ( with 2 weeks of chemo at the beginining and at the end) I am suffering horrendously with fatigue.

do you please have any advice as to how I deal with it? I can manage a 'normal' day followed by 3 or 4 days pretty well flat on my back and sleeping 24hrs at a time?

  • Hello neil_b,

    A big welcome to our forum! I am so sorry to hear you have been suffering from fatigue following your treatment. We have some information on fatigue from cancer drugs here which includes some tips on what you could do to reduce fatigue. Our nurses are also available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm so feel free to give them a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 and ask them for their advice on this.
