Chemo and radiation effects can differ with each one of us , I asked for late in the day treatment and went home and took a short nap after which seemed to help me , good luck .YOU GOT THIS

I had once a week chemo for 5 wks and had no nausea. A med was added to help with that. I also had 5 days a week for 5 weeks proton radiation. The only issues with that was fatigue which came on gradually over the 5 wks. I walked daily or used the treadmill at Hope Lodge and had passes to a gym which I used as well. Our bodies are different and our chemo cocktails may be different. Communicate any issues with your oncologist and radiologist. Stay positive! 😊
