just had first chemo a week ago and I still feel awful! I thought I’d go back to work but I just can’t ...don’t know what to do now. Do the horrible effects get better over the weeks?
Chemo can knock you sideways especially during the first 5-10 days and this is still early days for you so work may have to go on the back burner for a while.
You may have the chemo fog lift in a few days where you feel better in yourself. Several ladies have found they can work on their good days depending on the type of work - if work is stressy or physical you need a longer break though if you are trying to cope with nausea and aches.
There is a very active (and friendly) Breast Group here you should check out and join. If you look at the top of the list you will see the regular monthly chemo chat February discussion especially for those having or have had BC chemo to ask about side effects and compare notes to support each other.
Hope this isof some help for now, take care, G n' J
