Was receiving chemo and radiation at the same time,now just receiving chemo. When I was receiving both I was exhausted !
Now that I'm only receiving chemo, I'm so tired.
I've been on chemo (Ibrance) since 10/2019.

Hi Macfightsback, I actually am not in a trial. I selected in error and just figured out how to remove it0

How are you?0

Doing ok and happy my scans and numbers are so good at this point. I know it will come back but I certainly hope that I can get on a PARB and a delay reoccurrence! They will find a cure someday and maybe it’s while we’re in remission.0

Is Ibrance considered to be chemo? It is in pill form, right? You are not actively getting infusions? It sounds to me like you experienced a double whammy if you were taking Ibrance while receiving radiation. I know a lot of my friends who did radiation suffered from exhaustion. I had chemo administered by infusion and that was done by the time I had radiation. I did not have the exhaustion others described. But, I have noticed that I tire much more easily and quickly than I did before all this treatment stuff happened. It takes me longer to do heavy type work and I nap at least once a day.0

I'm also on Ibrance, 75mg. Yes, I fight fatigue. I also deal with the changes to my body 9side effects) when I'm off for the 7 days. I've got the pattern just about down pat now. Good luck. You didn't state what dosage. When I started on the 125mg, I could barely stay awake. When you become stable, ask for a lower dosage. I did & Dr. said OK unless it started growing again. I've been on it since 4/20190
