A week last Friday I had my fourth chemotherapy. I have haemochromatosis which causes chronic fatigue, and normally I have really high hb, though now it’s dropping rapidly. But at the same time the levels of iron that are deposited in my cells are rising. This can damage the cells. So it’s difficult to give me a blood transfusion. Do most people feel extremely tired on the Sunday beginning the second week of fourth chemotherapy. And difficult to eat because everything is so grainy and tasteless.
