You can only say something is “worse than cancer” if you have had cancer.

That’s our word.

Thanks Cancer! Yeah. Also, 'fatigued' to muggles is 'I am tired too. It was long day'. 🙄Ok muggle, but can you get dressed or take a shower without having to immediately lay down right after? Fatigued does not equal tired. #cancer #chemo

Rhonda Whitaker Thanks Cancer! It’s so hard to explain fatigue. I get short bursts of energy where I seem fine, but then I’ll end up crashed out for a couple of hours recovering.

Miss Averley Thanks Cancer! Energy and weakness is a good way to explain it because fatigued seems like you are 'sleepy' to others. I am glad you have some good bursts. We definitely need to pace ourselves and listen to our bodies. Hope you are able to feel physically stronger soon! 💕

Rhonda Whitaker Thanks Cancer! Miss Averley Even 6 years after chemo and surgery as well as 3 years after radiation, i still get fatigued very easily. Of course being 70 doesn’t help. But I’m still here to complain about it. Score!
