What Causes Excessive Sleep While On Valtrex And Lysine For Mouth Sores?

I have Stage 4 meteastic breast cancer that has been diagnosed in my bones and some lymph nodes. I am taking Ibrance and Exastamane for treatment. 4 days ago I started getting sores in my mouth. I started taking Valtrex to stop the sores and Lysine but they are getting worse not better. I have been sleeping constantly for the past 2 days and just can t seem to stay awake very long.Is this a product of having neutropenia, or should I be worried?
