What about fatigue as a sign of recurrence? I am just so damn tired. To the point at work there are times Im having trouble keeping my eyes open at my desk. This fatigue is really getting to me. I have some nagging back pain but I dont think its cancer. It's just this awful fatigue. Has anyone sought advice from their MO about recurrence and fatigue?

    I would ask primary care to run a CBC and rule out things like anemia.

    Are you on hormonal therapy of any kind? If yes it might be a contributing factor.

    I have horrible fatigue. Mom PCP ran CBC, iron panel and B12. Iron was a little low, but fatigue persists despite taking iron, eating healthy, and exercise. I think some of it is just how beaten down fromall of the treatments

    I'm just so tired of it....no pun intended lol

    I am seeing my MO in October so I'm going to discuss it. I just worry, especially the closer I get to the appointment everything is amplified.

    Hello Tang

    I'm sorry you're going through this. If it's any help, I had annoying fatigue for three or four years after end of treatment. My oncologist just said that my body had been through a lot and just to listen to it. After two hours' lying down I bounced back as if nothing had happened. I know it can be difficult to explain an absence but it's amazing how many people at work 'feel faint' or have 'dizzy spells', don't you think?

    By the way, I'm a year ahead of you and had lots of false scares along the way but fine now. You next year?

    I will keep you updated. I dont go until October 2nd. Last night I felt a lump under my non cancer arm pit. Now logic says its nothing, but fear says what if. This is what happens the closer I get to appointment time. It doesn't help I haven't been since February and my AI break.

    I feel like I cannot quite look too far into the future because this looms over head. Its hard tp explain but it's something that is just there, the what if. I was plagued with fear badly before, but it has gotten easier to navigate. Appointment time just kicks everything up.
