@loula. Cynde. I’m so glad your sister was able to be there for you! But now you’re hurting and feel tired. That’s exactly how I felt after my chemo infusion. It’s sort of a big let down after all the worry and anxiety. I try not to do anything but rest and maybe read a good book. You’ll probably feel tired each time. Are you taking any anti-nausea medicine?
I’m so glad everything went well! Becky

Everyone is different. First few days will tell you more. It is very important to during those 8 glasses of water a day to get that chemo moving in and out of your body. It is also hey to stay hydrated

I will tell you the effects of chemo are cumulative. The longer you have to undergo infusions the worse you will feel. I had chemo for 6 months. There were days I could not get out of bed. It also depends on how strong of a dosage amount of chemo your receiving. I worked the first 3 months of chemo. It then became too difficult physically. Sorry to say you can expect to feel more tired as you continue to receive chemo. Rest when you need to. If you are receiving radiation after chemo that makes you very tired radiation. Radiation is every day for 7 weeks.
