Post first chemo

Much the same pattern for me.  I was physically and emotionally low going into first AC so I don't think it helped.  Crashed and burned on the evening of Day 2 (Friday).  Couldn't lay down because I felt so sick.  Couldn't sit up because it felt like my bones wouldn't support me.  Maxalon did nothing - might as well have been taking Smarties.  I did ring the hospital on the Sunday and ask if I could take more Maxalon and was told that I could.  What I should have asked for was a script for something stronger but I didn't think I could do that it being the weekend.  I now know better.  Got something better anti-nausea drugs and reflux drugs on the afternoon of Day 5 and spent most of the next 36 hours sleeping.  Felt alive again by Day 10.  I then commenced walking 5 km every day in the hope that improved fitness would help me tolerate the chemo better.
I've since had the second AC and, with the better anti-nausea drugs have been able to cope far better.  Day 4 & 5 still not brilliant as everyone says but by Day 6 I was walking again and by Day 7 felt almost normal.  Normal, of course, being a relative term.
