I got knocked down, but I'll get up again...

I agree Tracy the chemo education doesn't really prepare you for what's to come. I think that is why those of us who experience it have an obligation to tell our treating doctors and nurses all of the awful details and make sure they understand the impact on our day to day lives.  

It does suck so don't be afraid to tell it like it is,  don't try to save the feelings doctor or the nurse.  If you have had a shitty time tell them so.  Give them every detail so that they can modify their practice to make treatment more manageable.  If we don't who will.

If it's any consolation it does eventually get better.  Sometimes hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  A day in pyjamas, resting, watching tv and napping sounds like a good strategy.  I found that a walk around the garden, or the block gave me a lift when i was feeling really knackered by the chemo and all of it's diabolical side effects.

Take care.
