When he got up to eat, I asked if he thought the treatment was making him so sleepy--he said no--he was hungry because he did not have but a few bites of breakfast and because he missed his nap. So, he ate a little bit, went back to bed for another nap. Now, 3 PM, he gets up and seems to feel okay for the moment. But he will probably have another nap before dinner---

@texastribble Going under treatment for anything can take quite a toll on the body. Physical, mental, emotional. Have you reached out to the social worker where Jerry gets his treatment, to ask your own questions about responding to his change in activity level? For me, I am in my second round of chemo now, an oral medication, and find myself with large clumps of time where I am fatigued, and cannot seem to get any energy up. I am learning to not beat myself up about it, and try to turn to activities that will not collapse if I don't finish them, or cannot concentrate. I am also making sure I keep getting my vitamins and nutritious food into me, even if it is a little bit. Have you tried any of the liquid meal replacements/supplements to give him a boost?
