Hello everyone,

My brother started a new job this week (approx 5 months after last treatment). Yay!! However, he is very tired. We realize that this is to be expected.

I am wondering if the fatigue is something that he can "catch up on" over the weekends. Is this reasonable? Other than trying to get as much rest as possible during the week, is there anything else that he can/should be doing? I certainly don't want to rain on his work parade but I'd like to give him some helpful suggestions.

I am so proud of him for going through what he did - and then coming out of it with a good job. He is a great guy. smile
