Before I started stage IV treatments I weighed a solid 235 by the end of treatments I weighed 140 and now 8 1/2 years later I am holding the 170 range.
During my treatments and after I was on a pain management regiment and all I did was sleep, ALLOT!
One day on my own decision without discussing it with my oncologist I decided to ween myself off from my pain medications which included a fentanyl patch. I was a Deputy Sheriff K-9 handler/trainer and was well aware of the dangers of addiction so my mindset was to get off these drugs as quickly as I could. I reduced my intake over a week or so and had no problems after stopping completely. In fact, I kept all my pain medicine within sight to be sure I could see them yet not reach for them!
Anyway, excuse my tangent. After I stopped taking my pain medication guess what happened? I wasn’t tired all the time and began watching TV and feeling more alive!
I was never able to return to work and am left with many post treatment problems but I’m alive.
If your husband is on pain management I would suspect that is why he’s tired.
BUT, before stopping the medication I strongly suggest that he speak with his oncology team about it first. Stopping to soon could be a bad thing!
My oncology team couldn’t believe I stopped my medication and had no issues but I think I was in a complete mind over matter?
