After feeling really good for 2-3 weeks, it was very surprising and alarming when today I felt like I used to feel each day with fatigue and apathy... I awoke this morning and after giving the cats a treat, I put a pod in the coffee machine and in less than 30 seconds had a cup of coffee that I took with me to the couch. On my way back to the coffee machine to fetch another pod and have a second cup of coffee is when the sensation of fatigue washed over me... it was a shock and somewhat alarming as my thoughts ran wild as to what was happening again...- was it the chemo?
- was it the Opdivo?
- was it the radiation?
- was it my thyroid medication?
- was it growing cancer again?
For the whole day, I sat around too tired to start any task and while the only item on my list was to vacuum the above ground pool which would take me only about 40-45 minutes, I just did not have the motivation to even begin. I was not hungry either but when my wife returned from shopping in Pigeon Forge, she brought us both a Cinnabon, I ate the entire bun without hesitation which only seem to increase my lethargy. It was 880 calories which I had to record on my chart, causing me to exceed my 2,000/day calorie limit by over 200.
