Tips for Managing Chemotherapy Side Effects

You can try effexor for flashes. Fatigue varies I have had it since 2019.

Thank you!

Rest and hydrate.

Hello, Hydration in the form of IV, while getting chemo helped me with fatigue for a short period. But my overall fatigue even after my chemo was done lasted a couple of years. I tried fueling my body with foods and vitamins, but it didn't work. The only thing I didn't do was exercise, but I just didn't have the energy for it. I couldn't understand why such fatigue, and I used to ask the doctors what I could do about it, but they were no help. Eventually, one day, I just noticed I no longer had the fatigue. That fatigue is REAL and extreme. I didn't do anything about the hot flashes. It was like, ok, which issue do I focus on. Good luck with everything 💕

Hello! Thank you!

Effexor did not work for my hot flashes, but it did help my mood. Veozah really helped my hot flashes. I'm 55 stage 4 triple positive.
