In this video, Dr. Richard T. Lee, breast cancer survivor Kate Zickel, and caregiver Brian Zickel discuss what people with cancer should know about cancer-related fatigue, including its causes, how it can affect quality of life, and ways to manage and cope with it.

    During chemo I couldn’t even think about doing things. I thought I was being lazy. I slept a lot! Three months later I can at least imagine things I want to do and do some of them. I look forward to getting better and remind myself that I’m healing.

    I am 4 years out. I am stage lll breast cancer. I battled fatigue before diagnosis and thought it would disappear after mastectomies! My blood labs are good. Thyroid good. I am an RN and had to do my own care plans. Fatigue is brutal. I am pushing through. Exercise and doing massages weekly!

      I have the same problem. I was diagnosed with stage 3 HR+ breast cancer in March 22 and surgery in May. I had 6 weeks of radiation and I have never recovered from that fatigue. My labs look normal but I still struggle to do basic tasks 4 months later.

    Stage 3-4 endometrial cancer with only 2 weeks palliative pelvic radiation.
    I went Whole Food Plant based without added oils/fats.
    Lost my excess 20 pounds easily. But 2 years since radiation and still Extreme Fatigue. Blood markers fine, but living with uterine cancer. Too big and too Advanced to remove surgically. 🤷‍♀️

    I’ve been diagnosed with early stage liver cancer. I have not started treatment yet which will be ablation surgery. A few months ago, I started feeling fatigue before the diagnosis. Is this possible or just some sort of mental issue. I also find if I do something like walking 3-4 miles, it takes me twice as long to recover. This used to be easy for me golfing. I would walk 18 holes. Now it takes two full days to recover. That being said I am 72 yrs old.
