Hi ive just had my first chemo about 10 days ago now. Although I'm started to feel better the tiredness is so overwhelming! Today I had a little walk and literally drained me. How do people cope and deal with it. I know everyone is different but I'm just amazed how long it takes to get back enegry levels. I only have a week and half before my next cycle See no evilSob

  • Hi 

    Sorry to hear your feeling so tired following your first chemo, we are all so different but in general I think you do need to listen to your body and rest as much as possible. Having said that I did find that exercise really helped even though I never felt up to it! 
    Are you managing to eat well?

  • I'm just starting to get my appetite back, my stomach is still deciding what it wants to do. I'm drinking plenty of water and hopefully the next week belly allowing will fill with lots of goodness to try build me up for the next cycle. 

  • That’s good, yes try and stock up on nutrient rich food, if your a meat eater I was recommended a bone broth soup - really nutrient dense and meant to help the immune system recuperate. 

    Hope you feel better soon xx
