I have had chronic tiredness since my radio-chemotherapy in 2020. The immune-chemo therapy and continuing Keytruda just made it worse. My oncologist has put me through all the tests they have, but everything is normal. If anyone ever hears of a cause or treatment, please let us know.
Like Annie said, I too am so tired of being tired! But…
Staying positive!
