I walked just about everyday of chemo. It helps with fatigue. I worked my way up from 1.5km on the day of the infusion to a 5km on the day before the next.
My husband also works interstate, three to five days a week. I asked him to to work in Melbourne for the week of the first infusion. We all react differently and I wanted to know how I would be before he went back to the interstate travel. However as @Sister says in her amazing post above, he may just have to stay home a bit more while you are in treatment.
My friends were amazing. They took me to and from chemo, and organised an amazing quantity of food (seven people in my house), and quietly bustled about washing up, helping with homework, chatting to the kids, and pouring my father-in-law a glass of wine! Cancer treatment means accepting help. It's one of the first lessons you learn. There are apps you can use to coordinate the help. Handy. Helps stop the eight zucchini bakes in the freezer situation!
