Fatigue and weakness
Don’t confuse tiredness with fatigue. If you’re tired, a good night’s rest can help fix that, but being tired is another matter. Yes, if you’re tired, you may feel tired, but it’s a debilitating, stale tiredness. Cancer-related fatigue saps your energy and makes you feel heavy and weak. Just getting up and doing small tasks feels like an obstacle. If you’re experiencing fatigue, it’s a good idea to talk to your healthcare provider to rule out possible causes related to colon cancer or another serious illness. Fatigue is not normal.
