Chemo and fatigue? - chemo fatigue

My father has lung cancer and had chemotherapy and radiotherapy 3 months.He was final last month chemotherapy. He had many other things go wrong, as, diabetes, high blood pressure is extremely low, blood, dehydration and pneumonia. (It was only after his last two doses of chemotherapy were strong) to extreme fatigue and loss of energy have experienced. We wondered how long you expect that in the past fatigue. Thank you.

Go hard question. It depends if a treatment is fatigue or cancer. Is this the treatment that her father may never return to its former power, but is fully recovered as possible after 1 to 2 months. It should check if your hemoglobin is low, if so, can a person very tired, because not getting enough oxygen to their tissues. There are drugs such as Procrit, which can contribute to your hemoglobin, or need a blood transfusion if it is too low. If it under the next best thing to do with fatigue is aerobic exercises. But sometimes it feels so bad that it is not possible, but a brisk walk every day if possible to support the motion also because red blood cells carry oxygen and if this exercise will help you more oxygen to your tissues. Lung cancer, of course, to the lungs, I assume that your oxygen level checked more often if you had everything, what is the treatment of cancer is its oxygen saturation? If so, it may be necessary in oxygen. But with LUNg cancer, this could be just the disease itself, I assure you that you know that you love, and help your affairs in order.

To be honest, I can last the rest of your life ... My mother has just chemotherapy with about 2 months. and it still has side effects .. I also read a lot of fatigue and stuff and all the books, and what your doctor said is that all adverse reactions can last a lifetime .. But it all depends on how the body needs it.

It is hard to say. A lot depends on your age and general health. Dehydration often leads to low blood pressure, it asks you too much water or fruit juices, drinks that are loaded with sugar (which should help some diabetics as well)

Try to have to do a balanced diet and daily activities. Chemotherapy can bring a person down and the only true way to go, healthy diet and start with light to moderate activity. Do not go to the gym, but with short walks and how you would probably be much help.

The chemo has definitely side effects of fatigue. I sincerely believe that you are trying to seek an acupuncturist herbalist / to reduce the side effects!
