Could the cancer it self be making him so tired? Nanlynn Sat, 29 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT Hi, my mother just finished her radiation and chemo therapy, she had it for 7 weeks. She is in bed most of the time, she is just so tired, and say's it feels better to lay down. I don't have any answers for you, but hope that you and your husband can get some help. They give my mother shots to boost her red blood count, but it doesn't make any difference. She is also losing weight, over 30lbs now, and 20 of that was before she started treatment. She has no appetite and is still nausea's all the time. If I find any answers, I will reply back to you. God be with you and your husband.

My sister and I drive to Waco and take her to her treatments and do everything else needed but her ex-husband who is her caregiver when we can't be there said she will not even get out of bed. Any suggestions? Lindaivy Wed, 29 Jun 2005 00:00:00 GMT
