Discouraged: Caught Covid after treatment for lung cancer

I just finished my 5th day of Paxlovid. I have reduced my alectinib since I have so many side effects from it I am on 600mg (2 pills twice a day). I am stage 3 not 4 so there is less research to guide the oncologist. You are on the full dose if I recall? I was so excited to get back to work part-time. Now I am so weak. Ugh. The thought of washing my hair is daunting.
I feel the added stress of needing to work for health care benefits. My husband is self-employed, with no benefits.

@aprilradek , I hope you start feeling better soon. The Paxlovid should help you regain some energy. Fingers crossed!
I am still taking 1200mg per day of alectinib (four years now). There are many people on a reduced dose for many reasons. 600mg per day is not unusual at all. It's likely still very effective.
