Stage 4 Cancer

Fatigue, in the extreme accompanied with bouts of shivering.  I don’t know what to do.  I do try to nourish myself but really am disinterested in food.  My favourite pastime?  Sleeping.  Is this going to be forever?  If so I want out.  My quality of life is zero.  The last time I went out “socially” was the 5th March, otherwise it has just been the Hospital or Doctor or Dentist, but even if I could go out I couldn’t possibly manage it.  It is as much as I can do to get myself out if bed each morning, I would much sooner stay there.  Any ideas how I might help myself?
