This past Thursday, I had my monthly treatment and my every other month visit with my Oncologist to not just evaluate my progress but to give me the results of my recent PET scan and while those results showed NO GROWTH, both my cancer treatments were going to continue that is to say my daily intact of Imbruvica (Lymphoma) and my monthly infusion of Opdivo (Melanoma). I also discovered that I had a thyroid disorder which would necessitate me taking another medication for the rest of my life...SO, why am I dwelling on this especially since I already mentioned these facts in a previous post?
Simply answered: On Thursday, I told the Oncologist that my nausea was almost non-existent and that my fatigue was intermittent...
Now, with thyroid issues, it is DOUBTFUL that my fatigue will ever disappear... and, this is a PISSER because I just started exercising again; in fact, I am going to finish my second week tomorrow.
This morning I woke up and after drinking a couple of cups of coffee went back to bed and slept for an hour... I was worried that my fatigue was returning when I woke up the second time, but after eating lunch, I felt like I had the energy to go downstairs and exercise which is exactly what I did.
CONCERNS: My treatments for my two cancers and my newly discovered thyroid issues will cause my fatigue to return to the point that I will not have the energy to exercise and if I do not exercise that I will continue to gain weight which will negatively impact my already damaged heart functions.
