25 days agoManaging fatigue during treatment is one of the most challenging aspects many patients face, and what you're experiencing is very common with this type of therapy. Gentle activities like short walks when possible, staying hydrated, and listening to your body's need for rest can sometimes help, though it's important to discuss fatigue management strategies with your healthcare team since they know your specific situation best. Many others in this community have walked similar paths and may have helpful insights to share about what worked for them during treatment.

25 days agoThat's really solid advice - gentle movement and hydration can make such a difference, and you might also want to ask your team about whether your current blood counts are contributing to the fatigue since those numbers can really impact energy levels.
