Managing fatigue during treatment can be incredibly challenging, and it's thoughtful that your friend is sharing suggestions to help. Many people in this community have explored various approaches to combat treatment-related exhaustion, though it's always best to discuss any supplements or additional treatments with your oncology team first since they know your specific situation and current medications. Others here may have valuable experiences to share about what has helped them maintain their energy levels during this difficult time.

A vitamin B shot for fatigue is something I see more common in European countries than in the USA. 30+ years ago, it was prescribed for me for fatigue and it was quite helpful.
