I have had this cancer about 3 months and Ian half through my 9 week chemo programme, I would to chat to people who are going through the same and how they are coping.
Sorry, I didn't see your post yesterday - it had been pushed down to page 3 due to the high volume of messages.
Which chemo regime are you on? I was on EOX which was hard going at the time, but worth it as my body responded well to it. Click on my user name in the box to the left of this message if you'd like to read the full story.
Advice? Don't be surprised if you get physically exhausted in the days after your chemo. The side-effects are cumulative, so if you feel like sleeping for 24 hours afterwards don't try to fight it. I got into a routine of allowing myself 48 hours after chemo of lazing around before forcing myself to take the dog for a walk to try to keep my fitness levels up.
Other advice? Avoid anyone with a cold - especially kids who all seem to act as virus reservoirs - your immune system will be weakened for the whole time you're on chemo.
Finally, however lousy you feel, don't give up on the treatment unless your oncologist advises you to.
