I used to find I was pretty good for the first day or two because of the DEX. Don't worry if you feel tired and emotional after the DEX wears off, you will come good again. I think the important thing with chemo is to go with it rather than trying to stick to any rigid ideas. Like Robyn says drink lots of water. Also rest when you need to, I used to feel a bit like I had the flu for a few days. Eat what you feel like as this helps to ease any nausea. Most of all remember chemo is temporary, any symptoms do go away and you will feel good again. Treat yourself with kid gloves for a few days and you will get through. Take care. Deanne xx
