When Will I Feel Better After Chemotherapy?

Sorrry to hear.. what are your side effects already..I am due to start Oct 9.. did you get a port put in?

Well keep in mind that chemo is cumulative. So it may not be until after you’re done. I did nearly 20 months of treatment. My last one was April 2024. I’m still waiting to feel better. You got this!!

Thank you

I felt pretty good after doing the fasting protocol.

Hope you are feeling better Donna. I started first chemo on 9/20 and didn't feel back to normal until 10/1. I also didn't have hydration infusions in the days after chemo (wasn't in my instructions😬) I'm hoping they will make the difference speeding up the recovery on round two. The bone ache and listlessness were the worst.

Irene are you taking the claritin

Hey Catalina. Yes I took 5 days prior to and 5 days after. Also got ok to take Tylenol Xtra when I was too uncomfortable.

Recovery timelines vary for everyone, but many people find that the most challenging days are typically within the first week after treatment, with gradual improvement in weeks two and three before the next cycle. The fatigue and side effects from these medications can be tough, especially after that first treatment when everything feels new and uncertain. Consider reaching out to your care team about managing any specific symptoms you're experiencing - they often have helpful strategies to make the recovery period more comfortable.
