First chemo sessions can bring a mix of emotions and physical reactions that vary greatly from person to person. Many community members share that connecting with others who've been through similar experiences helps them feel less alone during this part of their cancer journey, so thank you for reaching out and starting this important conversation.

I was very tired after my first chemo. Most of that came from the meds I was on to counter any side effects. My chemo was for uterine cancer so my reaction may be different than yours. Take it easy afterwards and have someone check on you regularly. Report any and all reactions you may experience to your doctor's office - I learned this the hard way.
