Does chemotherapy cause extreme weakness?
There is a vast difference in how patients respond to chemotherapy. Some patients find themselves feeling fatigued. However, others are able to maintain their normal lives, including work, exercise and leisure activities.
“For the first month or two, I continued to swim, though not as much as I had been. I assumed that if I stayed active it would help me through the chemo. I was never incapacitated in that sense. There were a few days where either I didn’t feel well or was really tired, so I didn’t go out and pound the pavement or anything.”
