What Causes Severe Fatigue And Excessive Sleepiness?
My husband had a stem cell transplant in early 2014. Has seemed fine and in remission since then. For the past three days he is feeling extreme fatigue, just feels wiped out, sleeping a LOT. No fever. Should we be contacting his cancer doctor immediately? I tend to panic when anything unusual happens. He is 71 years old.
