One more chemo treatment for now. Titrating off prednisone and then possibly more Keytruda. Can't get over how weak I am feeling. I am also dealing with Afib right now. Looking forward to what things are like after chemo.

Weakness and fatigue after chemo are very common concerns in the endometrial cancer community, and it makes sense to look for answers while dealing so much at once. Many people find it helpful to write down when the fatigue feels strongest and to share those notes with their oncology team, along with questions about how the Afib and the medication changes may fit in. The care team can look at the full picture and suggest safe ways to support energy levels. Others here may have tips on pacing the day, so feel free to share what has helped or what you'd like to ask the community.

It does get better after chemo. It's not overnight but gradual. It's been 4 months since my last chemo and while I still tire after a busy day I feel so much better overall considering I had a hysterectomy and a hernia repair two months ago. Hang in there, one day at a time.
