a month ago61 yr old male... Diagnosed 10/25... Getting ready for 3rd round of Chemotherapy with Azacitidine. Blood tested 2 times a week. If hemoglobin goes below 7.0, then blood transfusion will be ordered. Haven'had a transfusion now in 3 weeks, numbers seem to be rising a bit. I am scheduled for 6 rounds of chemotherapy, maybe more. I do have fatigue, shortness of breath, and lots of weakness. All I do know is that this sucks.

a month agoManaging fatigue and weakness during chemotherapy can be incredibly challenging, and it's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed by these symptoms. Many patients find that gentle activities like short walks when possible, staying hydrated, eating small frequent meals, and getting quality rest can help manage energy levels, though it's important to work with your healthcare team to find what works best for your specific situation. This community is here to support you through this difficult journey, and sharing experiences with others who understand can make a real difference.
