Hi Cyd44, and thank you for posting.

I am sorry to learn of your situation, this must be a difficult time for you.

I was unsure what your situation is and what treatment you are having, it sounds like it is probably chemotherapy, apologies if I have this wrong.  Everybody's reaction to treatment is individual.

There are going to be various times of the treatment cycle where you may feel worse, including the rest week, and sometimes people will see a pattern develop and can work out on which days of the cycle are their worst days and plan nothing on those days so they can rest.

If you are concerned about the side effects you are experiencing do have a chat with the chemo team or your specialist when you go in for your next treatment, as they will know what drugs you are taking and will be able to reassure you if these side effects are expected. They can also advise you on how to manage these effects.

You may find you get more replies to your post by reposting on the 'living with cancer' section of the forum, where more people may share their experiences. 

Take care and good luck with the rest of your treatment. Please feel free to get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
