I had my second TC treatment 16 days ago. I'm still so fatigued that I can hardly get up off the couch. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

    It is normal for some people..I would mention it to your MO, however, because of blood counts.

    I don't know how often you have chemo but I assume they do blood work before every one. Your blood counts may well be down. I've been fighting that all through chemo and have had to have 4 cancelled and rescheduled due to low platelet counts. I was extremely tired with that

    I was really tired after 3rd chemo and it is cumulative...it is hard to get moving sometimes, but seems like if you make yourself get out and take a short walk, it helps. Also, make sure you stay hydrated! Water may not taste good; so you may want to add a little squeeze of lemon or orange. Congratulations~ You are halfway through!
