I'm sorry to hear of your increase in health issues related to your cancer treatment. It's not supposed to go in that direction. Have you considered your fatigue issue may be caused by something else such as thyroid? Are you getting any help with issues from your care team?

Thank you for your reply. I’ve had thyroid issues for about 10 years, specifically hyperthyroidism which is monitored by my endocrinologist. I get frequent blood tests done for it and medication adjustments as indicated by my results. I’m having a CT scan tomorrow to look at my abdomen, hopefully, to see if they can find a reason for my stomach issues and weight loss.
I’m not giving up. The GI issues and constant fatigue have really impacted my quality of life. Thanks again for your support.
