I've been reading this forum about fatigue and I suppose that what my husband Michael is dealing with is fatigue and depression. He's 22 days out of radiation and it's been a roller coaster. It seems that he sleeps more than he's awake. Last week he slept round the clock, melted down on Thursday, we met with his therapist and by Thursday evening he was much better. On Friday he went out for a while and on Saturday he insisted on vacuuming the entire house. I tried to convince him that I could help him - all to no avail. He slept most of Sunday. On Monday he cleaned both bathrooms and has been sleeping more so than not. He has a peg and is maintaining approx 2000 - 3000 calories per day. He's lost approx 50-60 lbs. Last week the oncologist said his blood work looked good and that in spite of feeling lousy, he would begin to feel better soon. I have been home intermittently w/him - I work f/t and carry the benefits. Friends have stopped in to see him. Today he didn't even bother taking his Zoloft (he was put on Zoloft after he was diagnosed). His therapist is coming over again on Friday, but if anyone has any feedback I'd really appreciate it.



Another question - he has really bad night sweats, wakes up soaking wet and during the day, in the hot, humid weather, he's cold. His hands are always cold.



Can anyone identify with this and maybe help me out?



Thanks so much
