My husband has had terrible side effects from Gem+Abrax-extreme fatigue and lethargy and can't function for 4 days.
Wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I have but not to that extentent. I am always fatigued but it isn't debilitating. Usually only the first couple days. Talk to his oncologist to see if there is anything that can help with the extreme fatigue

I recently finished 12 cycles of Folferinox, and I always felt strong fatigue for four or five days after treatment, then I would feel a little better, but throughout the entire 2-week cycle there was always some fatigue. I believe it's the body trying to fight off the chemo, so I rest and pick up activities a little bit at a time and exercise a little bit more each day that I feel ok. Best wishes.
