Why do I get so tired so easy?
I had a brain tumor. The size of a walnut removed last June. As you know that means I could not go back doing to what I love which is cleaning teeth. I just started back in the same office doing various tasks but not cleaning teeth. I seem to be so wiped out just by working 5 hours a day, 3 days a week. Just told 2 weeks ago. I also have breast cancer. I know that is not the reason I'm so tired but I'm wondering if the nets makes me so tired. If you guys have anything to share please let me know. I hate it. 52. I have to take a nap everyday

Sorry to hear what you are having to deal with! I have pnets and am tired a lot in the beginning when I asked my Dr about being tired he said cancer will make you tired! I have come to the conclusion cancer and everything related makes us tired Chemo, radiation, medication, scans and a lot of other things. You are going through a lot just trying to work shows how tough you are. Get all the rest you can!

4 ReactionsSorry to hear about your cancer and fatigue. I’ve been in treatment for recurrent breast cancer, lung NETs and DIPNECH for 5 years now and it’s the meds (Kisqali, Letrozole and octreotide) that all cause the fatigue. The first 2-3 years were the worst. I hope your body adjusts some over time, but I don’t expect to ever have the energy I did before cancer meds. I still enjoy life though. It’s just my new normal with limitations. Best to you.

1 Reaction@crawfordville I have a pnet that has spread. I agree that the cancer and the treatment for it makes me tired. It is just part of my life. I try to get extra rest. Without it, I seem to get more tired and tired. I don't know any other way to deal with it.
