First Chemo

Question

Hi Ladies&nbsp;
Well day 3 after my first Chemo and all went well until today energy levels very low but to be expected no steroids, as they say what goes up must come down !&nbsp;
I was really well no reactions or sickness have been exercising the last 2 days but all I can manage is the stairs to my bedroom to get a cup of tea which is making me feel so much better and slump on the bed. &nbsp;Please tell me in a few days I will be up and around again !!
Hope all who is going through this today gets through ok as we are troopers of strength.&nbsp;
Love and hugs Di xxx

Yes you will feel better in a few days. Be gentle with yourself. Rest but keep up your fluids. On my worst days I would get up to eat and then be back asleep pretty soon afterwards. It is important to give your body what it needs to recover. Once you start to feel better you come good quickly, I found. Days 3 to 5 or 6 were the worst for me. Take care. Deanne xxx

You will be up in a few days!It is a very bizarre type of tiredness isn't it?Days 4 to about 8 were my worst I think.Just keep drinking lots,and you will feel a lot better in no time.Take care.xoxRobyn

Sleep when you want, eat what you feel like. Go for a walk if you can. It passes. Thinking of you. Xx
