  • I have the opposite problem to you,because I hardly ever sleep.As Deanne said,just go with it.I am having my 4th chemo tomorrow,and I know now what to expect.You kind of get into a rhythm.For me,the tiredness is worse day 5 to 10,then I start to improve.By week 3 I feel almost back to normal.If you can exercise every single day,it really does help with your tiredness.Even just gentle walking is fine.The first chemo is the worst,because you don't really know how it will affect you.I hope that today finds you feeling a bit better Sue.Try and get outside,just for some fresh air,and remember that each day is a step closer to the finishing line.Sending hugs to you.xoxox.

  • Go with it. Rest when you need to, eat what you feel like and gentle exercise when you can. It is the unknown of how long it will be till you feel ok again that is the hardest. No one can tell you that and you do just want to fast forward till you are past all this. You will feel better soon though and have some good days. Enjoy these. You will find that the time passes quite quickly with the routine of Chemo. You do get to the end and life is different but good again. It is the little things that make a difference. Take care.
