4× Fatigue — Apparently, That’s a Thing!

Week one of radiation and chemotherapy is in the books!

So far, the side effects have been surprisingly mild. Except for one little detail.

I’m still tired.

Apparently, recovering from brain surgery, adjusting to keto, undergoing radiation, and taking chemotherapy all have something in common.

Fatigue!

Four different ways to be exhausted, and I’m apparently collecting them all. Add in my still-broken sleep, and I’ve become something of a professional power napper.

But seriously, things are going remarkably well so far, and I’m incredibly thankful. There’s a long road ahead, but we’re off to a good start!

Still here. Still fighting. Occasionally even awake.

    Hi Brad, Just came by to let you know I’m with you. The other night I don’t know why but I looked “extra way up” into the sky, closed my eyes & took in the deepest breath… my thoughts turned to you, so I exhaled slow and strong with energy & love to you. Hope you’re feeling it… So many are with you~

    Oh & find joy in the napping too! : ).

      Thank you going the journey. The outpouring of care from so many has been a true blessing. Feeling full of life and joy here and passing on wherever I can. It is well with my soul and naps are great. Praying my body keeps up!
