I really appreciated the article about Fatigue being a silent enemy. It was helpful to read that this is common as I often am surprised ho it crops up when I least expect it. Even when I have good periods, fatigue always seems to creep in when I don’t see it coming. Thank you for providing insight into this problem and suggestions to help. #BCAM2020

I really enjoyed the article Animals & Cancer. Before I was diagnosed with NHL our Shih Tzu, Delilah, took to laying on my lap, always facing left. When I was diagnosed I was told that my cancerous lymph nodes were on my left side, in my groin area. During the weeks when I was receiving in-patient chemo Delilah slept with my son but when I was home in between treatments, Delilah insisted upon sleeping on my bed and would not be deterred. She also continued laying on my lap, facing left right through my last treatment. After I finished chemo she went back to laying next to my right leg. I'm 1.5 years into remission and she has never gone back to laying on my lap or sleeping in my bed but still follows me around every day! #BCAM2020

Chronic fatigue ...my friend?? I am not too sure about that. I guess what I can say is I don't have a choice about it being my friend. I have to face it on a daily basis like we do when dealing with chemotherapy. I am thankful that I am still here is spite of it all!! #BCAM2020

Chronic Fatigue, My Invisible Friend made me feel less “alone” in my struggle. I am isolated due to COVID concerns, as well as fatigue. I wish I had more energy to at least craft/work on projects during this time of isolation. It’s just so hard to get motivated...

Hello Shayla I'm doing great with the Calquence. My only side effect is fatigue. I'm very thankful for that. Prayers for comfort and healing for all!
