Re: Extreme Fatigue Post-FCR, Plus FCR-induced Asthma?

[Guest guest]

Karla,

I had 4 treatments of FCR last year and didn't experience

any difficulties at all. I was 64 at the time, in fairly

good health. I played golf and exercised at the gym. Now a

year later, sometimes my legs feel weak, but nothing major.

Wish him the best.

Even though extreme fatigue is somewhat expected after FCR,

this seems much worse than should be expected. Additionally,

the air trapping in the lungs should not be a result of the

CLL or the treatment.

I have found that my cancer treatment (IVIG) sometimes has

given me asthma, but right now my shortness of breath is

caused by the extreme heat and the polluted air. Except for

going to the stores for food and to doctors for my

treatments, I am trying to stay indoors.
