Hi scaredy-cat.. might be helpful to check with your nurse about how chemo works and when you’re most vulnerable. From memory, I think the drugs peak at about two weeks and then titre down before your next dose.. I was hyper cautious against getting infections when the drug was active and became more social in the couple of weeks before my next dose.. Fatigue became bigger for me and I committed to a not too long walk every day and hours rest in the pm.
i couldn’t eat much and am ever grateful for chooks and their eggs.
To help , I heard taking more protein was needed as well as plenty of water. Dark leafy greens are great. Avoid fats as the liver doesn’t like
working out the drugs. Towards the end of 6 months, fatigue increased where I gave up the walks .i had very supportive friends..
more like sports coaches who when I felt I couldn’t go on, picked me
up to reach the finishing line.... you’re on a hero’s journey as well..
your horse sounds beautiful.. He/She also is there for you.. with lots
of equine love and wisdom.. Go gently.. slow the pace.. all will be well.. xx
