I have just had my 2nd weekly TCHP chemo. The first two days after chemo are fine when I am on steroids and anti nausea meds. But then I crash. My mood slumps and I have stomach cramps, nausea and real fatigue that no meds seem to help. I feel like this for a few days, get one day feeling okay and then it’s time for the next round. I hadn’t expected to feel this bad this quickly into the process. I had a lot of chemo 30 years ago (3 weekly) for a different cancer and I was expecting weekly chelp to be slightly “kinder”, especially as my Onco team had told me it was a slow grind down with weekly rather than this pattern. Does anyone have any experience of this or advice they can give me please?
