I was diagnosed October 2022. I’ve been through eight chemo treatments. When I went in for my ninth, they said my blood work was too low and they couldn’t do chemo. They told me to go home and rest for a week and will try again next week. It seems like I should do more like eating iron, strong foods or take an iron supplement, but they said do nothing just rest. I love to sew. Is sewing too active when I should be resting? When they say to rest does that mean to stay in bed?

I was encourage to do what I felt up to doing. Sleep or nap if I felt like it, go for a walk etc. healthy eating helps. Part way through I was prescribed something (Grastofil needles) to take daily for 7 days after finishing the infusion to help my blood recover. Ask if there is something you can do, or limitations if you are unclear. Medical staff were awesome!
