What Causes Chronic Fatigue In A Cancer Patient?

Hello, I just would like to have some options...I will see a doctor this week. I ve been very tired lately and I happen to be a cancer patient. I m in remission. I am active, dance, walk, swim etc. I do not take meds, but I do take lot s of supplements. Vit C, D, B50 s, probiotics, digestive enzymes, cal and mag, and flax seeds as well as the oil. I eat a healthy diet...I cook all my meals and thus...think I stay away from all the crap out there in restaurants...(sorry). I ve just been more tired than I d like to be. I just had some Blood work done...in fact, my CA125 is 35. Otherwise, I have some H s and some L s...in the blood CBC. In any event, I don t have a pc and so...don t wish to have anything sent to me...just a little insight perhaps... thank you I cannot pay for anything...either...

General Surgeon 's  Response
‭Hello,

It is a part of cancer cachexia. High protein diet and hydration is the treatment. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Anemia has to be ruled out as it might cause similar symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
