I've been having something
I've been having something similar since I started Taxotere. I had 2 treatments of that, 2 weeks apart. My last chemo was 2 weeks ago & I'm still falling asleep for about 5 hours, then waking up every 2 or so hours after that. Hoping that will go away soon!0 -

6 months out of 18 week consective chemo, and I continue to have nights where I am extremely tired .. but can not fall asleep. Or if I fall asleep, any slight noise will wake me up - !
I think it's part chemo TCH - and part stress. We battle the beast, now we have to face the future .. knowing all that we know abt met's and life as a breast cancer Survivor.
I go to bed relax .. praying for all our family here on the boards, thanking God for his love, my family .. life -- hoping to share another day with everyone I cherish.
My Oncologist has called in a RX to help me sleep, no need to fill it ... my body will recover and get back to it's natural pattern ...1 day .. I am hoping sooner than later! LOL....
Good luck .. and happy dreams!
