I didn't do chemo personally, but my husband did & those 'tired days' are often just a part of it ... He used to put himself to bed for a couple of days til he felt 'better'. I guess you'll have noticed a pattern by now ... great that your job is very supportive of you.
Feeling a tad overwhelmed is totally normal too - maybe you'd like to have a private chat with our Helpline on 1800 500 258 (Mon-Fri, 9-5) ... or better still, listen to Charlotte Tottman's podcasts on her own BC 'journey'. She is a specialist BC Counsellor, who had a double mastectomy about 5 years ago. She is VERY easy to listen to - and was quite surprised at her own reaction to the news (and treatments) of her BC diagnosis, as they were different from what she'd dealt with her patients prior to her own diagnosis!
