Coping with fatigue: What are your coping tips?

Sorry for what you are going through. I have prostate cancer and been dealing with fatigue for over a year. I've seen lots of suggestions, posted a couple myself. The fatigue is a very tough thing to deal with. I try to keep moving, that is suppose to help, and I guess it does but having to deal with it day after day is not fun. I apologize for not being able to answer your question, I got a little excited when I read your topic because I certainly want to hear some ideas. Best to all.

I read the other link in this thread on breast cancer treatment side effects including fatigue. I was treated with 5FU + Avastin for stage 4 appendix cancer and from what I can tell no matter the cancer or the treatment severe fatigue is a standard side effect. I managed to keep working through treatment but if I needed a nap I took it. I didn’t fight it. Eating healthily and moving as much as possible (from gentle walking to yoga and Pilates) really helped me manage the fatigue emotionally and mentally. All the best to everyone

I can fully understand what you are dealing with and am sorry. I have been advised to drink energy drinks and I think they help somewhat. I, too, have been advised to walk. It's hard because I used to get up in the morning and walk a mile and a half. Can't do that anymore. I have found that walking around the house is better than trying to walk outside.
I guess there is no magic
