Hi @Spillsy.
Chemo is a shit of thing isn't it? But the ladies are correct of course. It does get better. I had 4 x AC and then 12 xwkly Taxol. The afternoon of and day 4 of the AC were bloody awful. Day two and three I had heaps of energy, from all the steroids I guess, so I used to do as much as I could on those two days and plan nothing for day4 ,then things improved again Once you work out which is your worst day you can plan around that. I worked but I was lucky I could change my shifts around what I knew would be my crappy days. The Taxol was a lot easier to handle for me. Almost no fatigue/nausea at all.
I had a calender on the fridge that I could put a big red cross through after each session was over so I could see each time that I was closer to the finish line. Was I excited to put that last cross on.
One foot in front of the other and soon it will be over then you can mend and get back to being you.
XOXOXO
