I am into my third week of chemo and I am really tired and lethargic is this to be expected?

I am unsure how I should feel at this stage

Hi Denise

It’s normal to have fatigue whilst on chemo. It’s one of the common side effects of most treatments, depending to a degree, on which you are on.

Just listen to your body and rest if you feel so, but also try to take a little light exercise such as walking when you feel up to it.

Best of luck

Hi Denise, what chemo are you on exactly? It is normal to get more and more fatigued as the cycles go on but….when you feel so fatigued – force yourself to go for a brisk walk and trust me you will feel instantly less fatigued. It is hard to believe but pushing yourself to exercise will lift your mood and energy levels. Give it a try you will be amazed how good you feel after it
