What you're experiencing is completely normal and unfortunately expected after chemotherapy treatment. Many patients feel their worst between days 3-7 after infusion as the medications continue working through their system, so feeling awful on day 4 is very common and doesn't make you weak at all. This community understands how challenging these days can be, and connecting with others who've been through similar experiences can provide valuable support and practical tips for managing these difficult post-treatment days.

Definitely not being a baby. I would have treatments on Monday. My worst days of the week usually ended up being Thursday and Friday. Hang in there. Chemo suuuuucks.

No babies here. My txs are on Wed every 3 weeks I don't get hit til the following Mon. Luckily it gives me time to prep. Friends and family know my routine call to check on me but we plan things round recovery time.
