Tired: On immunotherapy and I want my strength back
I was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer almost three years ago, had a lobectomy and chemo. It came back in a year a small spot ,radiation and chemo. Scans just show scaring
Taking immunotherapy now have for almost 6 months now so far so good. But im so tired! Some days I can barely get out of bed. I want to get some strength back. I go to the gym and walk so far i can manage a half a mile.
First why am I so tired? It's been 7 months since the treatment. And more can I do to get some strength back?

Hi Donna, I wanted to let you know that I understand how you are feeling, mentally and physically exhausted, being tired is your body and mind trying to get stronger. It’s a hard battle we fight and you have had a lot to go through, now is when you take some steps to get yourself back but please always remember that you’re a strong person and that’s what matters most, be patient with yourself and don’t set too many goals for the time being, I know you will eventually feel better and regain more strength in time and it’s okay to allow yourself to feel tired because you are a warrior, best wishes to you for a healthy recovery.
