When my cancer got it it's worst my light blood cell phone was 128,000 over and doctor came in with the drill no warning just drilled into my hip and then stuck something in there and grab some bone marrow and come back about an hour later and put a plug in the hole then put in my head and said you've got cancer and it almost killed me now my numbers are below six getting better but never goes away and get three days a week where I feel like getting out of bed and the other ones and just feeling awful I think it's the medication that makes me sick

Managing treatment side effects and fatigue can be incredibly challenging, and it sounds like these medications are really taking a toll on your energy levels. Many people in the leukemia community find it helpful to work closely with their care team to discuss symptom management strategies and to connect with others who understand the ups and downs of treatment days versus recovery days.
