had my second chemo on Thursday, felt good yesterday, did some laundry all in all normal day. Today I ate breakfast, took a shower, dressed and I am exhausted- if this is 2 then 3 must be awful. But 2 down 4 to go.

Fatigue patterns can vary so much from person to person during chemotherapy, and it's common for energy levels to fluctuate in unexpected ways throughout treatment. Many people find that while some days feel more challenging than others, their bodies often adapt over time and develop strategies for managing the tiredness. The encouraging news is that you're already one-third of the way through your treatment plan, and connecting with others here who understand this journey can provide valuable insights about what has helped them cope with similar experiences.

At one point I was taking both a morning and afternoon nap. If you don’t have small children to take care of, just know it’s normal and rest.

thank you, next week (7th) is chemo #4. I am hoping it goes smoothly. I have been having issues with incontinence and is found out that it is a side effect of the Paclitaxel and Carboplatin. Supposedly it will get better after chemo is done, can't come too soon.

Incontinence can also come from pelvic radiation.
