Why do I sleep so much after chemo infusions for metastatic breast cancer?
Community Member
17 hours agoI have been fighting MBC4 now for five years been doing well considering. It’s been over a year that I started chemo infusions. My story involves sleep. The day after the infusion I feel pretty darn good . By evening of the second day I start sleeping. This last time 12 hours then potty break then another 5/6 hours. It was such a strange feeling. Usually I just nap my way thru these days. Anyone else doing this?

12 hours agoExtended periods of sleep following chemo infusions are quite common, as treatments can be physically demanding and the body often needs extra rest to recover and repair itself. Many others in the community have shared similar experiences with needing significantly more sleep in the days following treatment, so this pattern is something that resonates with fellow patients who understand the unique fatigue that comes with fighting metastatic breast cancer.
