Can A Person Be In Remission Bit Still Getting Worse?
My husband’s bloodwork is coming back well but he is sleeping a lot more (12-13 hours a day) and not feeling well. Has an appointment coming up but was looking for other’s thoughts and opinions. Many thanks
Yes, thanks, that is my plan. I always go with a list!

When we asked about him not feeling well, the doctor said that this is very common. The cancer, even though in remission, can cause people to not feel well. He said a lot of people describe it as flu like symptoms among other things. My husband concurred with this.
Doctor also said that some people have a harder time getting past feeling sick than others do. Obviously can affect people differently. Medication was also mentioned as having side affects that are unpleasant.
