I had keytruda for two years....it kicked the cancer, but now I have a bit of brain damage from it (should have stopped it after 2 yrs) balance issues, cognitive.......the tiredness slowly gets better,but I am not probably a very good example.

Hi, I am also new here. To address your concern, I am 15 years out from diagnosis and I take naps all the time. Not sure if it is because of treatment or I'm just getting old! If that's the worst of things for you, consider yourself lucky.

Hi Robin. Like you, I too suffer from extreme tiredness (chronic fatigue) as a result of ongoing immunotherapy treatment. My oncologist has prescribed small doses of Prednisolone in response to the tiredness. Since commencing the Prednisolone the constant tiredness has lifted....a little bit. I still do not want to get out of bed each morning but once I do arise the day is easier to get through. Notwithstanding, I have adopted a strategy of taking a rest period for about an hour every afternoon.

I got a massage yesterday. For the first time they had heated massage tables! That distracted me from thoughts about if my cancer comes back. I was nice and very relaxed! To my surprise, this morning I am still relaxed! This keeps me from thinking about cancer coming back, and not being able to get keytruda. That is my biggest concern!

I'm tired already just thinking about what I need to do today. I need to walk our 2 dogs, doctor appt. for plantar fascitis, and at 4;15 volunteer at an animal shelter close to home! I call this my cat therapy! I need and want a nap now! However too many things to do today. When mom comes home, I help put groceries away. Anyone out there have energy to give me today?!
