Subject: Fatigue After Treatment
Date: 08/05/2005
I was diagnosed with stage 3c of a rare uterine mixed mullerian cancer- underwent a total hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node removal, 6 cycles of taxol and carboplatinum and 25 sessions of external radiation treatments. I was fatigued during and after the treatments...fatigued from the stress of loosing my income and hair, having anemia and low back pain...also depression and memory loss...all these issues contributed to extreme fatigue...complications included vertigo and falling, herniated disc and painful inability to walk, epidural steroid injection and physical therapy...now that I survived all that. The latest chest cat scan revealed a dangerous blood clot above the filter that was supposed to protect me from a clot traveling to my lung...back on blood thinner self administered injections...after all that who wouldn't be fatigued...it is overwhelming... back at work full time and pushing myself to keep going ...you are in my prayers. Love to all reading this.

My sympathies to you. But you are a survivior. You hsve paid the price and are starting the long climb up hill. Just keep your grit and think like the little red engine. I think I can I think I can.

Pep talk over. Get on some high powered supplemtnes that work with your medical condition.
I have had a blood clot in the leg. It was no fun and not near the lungs. I hated coumidin.
I got into some supplements that were right and my leg is much better.
Omega 3 and garlic are the two that come to mind. But with a clot that close, check with your medical doctors.
Best wishes and blessing to you. keep up the good work.

My love one is having chemotheraphy now. The main problems we are experiencing are "bowel obstruction", gas, not being able to eat, and weight loss. Would you advise me some tips to deal with the obstruction and have some food intake? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks to all of you!

Ginette
