Hello!
I'm on day 5 of my first round of chemo. I found yesterday really tough and today hasn’t been great but there’s an improvement.
I’m just looking for some reassurance/knowledge on other peoples experience. Did you find a pattern or did the rounds get harder? It’s not easy with two small children but I know I’m not the only doing this xxx
Hi, I found that mine were very consistent, the day of treatment was ok, as were the next 2-3 days. Days 4&5 were the toughest and by day 13 (of a 21 days cycle) I felt pretty normal again. We are all different and it might not be the same for you though. I was told that it can be cumulative and get worse each time but I honestly did not experience that. Best wishes
