Chemo side effects can be really challenging both physically and emotionally, and what you're experiencing sounds exhausting. Many people in the community have found it helpful to discuss these types of symptoms with their care team, as there are often ways to help manage both the physical discomfort and mood changes that can come with treatment.

I take zypan for stomach which has been working wonderfully. I am not a fan of big pharmaceutical companies and I totally hate the oncologist I had at Dana farber
