Fatigue and feeling unwell are very common during induction therapy. Some of the typical side effects include:
- Tiredness and weakness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Mouth sores
- Anemia, which can make fatigue worse
- Low white blood cell counts
The good news is that many of these side effects can be managed, and some have reversible causes that doctors can address directly. One MyMyelomaTeam member shared that after their stem cell transplant and treatment, it took a while to get their strength back — but they did, and went on to reach 17 years in remission. Recovery is very real and very possible.
Doctors often look for treatable causes of fatigue, such as low hemoglobin (anemia), which can sometimes be helped with a blood transfusion. Staying as gently active as possible, even small amounts of movement, can also help with energy levels over time.
The most important thing right now is keeping his care team informed about how he's feeling so they can help manage his symptoms and adjust support as needed.
