Hi Yaya, as another commenter has said, everyone reacts differently to chemo. Fatigue is consistent, but
I usually feel a little better around the fifth day after Folferinox treatment. I always eat small portions several times a day, making sure to include protein-rich foods. Sometimes at the beginning of a new cycle, if I am still feeling sick from side effects, my doctor will agree for an extra week off to recover, and that has helped me tolerate the next cycle (I am up to number 9). Also, when I experienced some acute neuropathy, the dosage was reduced twice, and that has helped. I have found that when I tell the doctor the side effects I experience, there is usually some alternative to ease the severity. Best wishes.

Thank you @ken240 l am just so worried about her. I live in a different country and when I call and I’m told she is always sleeping it worries if she will one day get over the chemo effect and roll back to her normal life start going to work. Will try your trick to speak with the doc to re look at the dosages etc. Appreciated
