Effects of chemotherapy

Is it normal to feel very tired while receiving chemo 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Chemotherapy can cause fatigue, so it is important to pace one's daily activities around your treatment schedule. There will be days when you have less energy then other days.

    We have information on our website about coping with fatigue

    Do let your chemotherapy hospital care team know how you are feeling, so they can monitor you and advise further on ways to manage treatment side effects.

    You might want to post in the general section of the online cancerchat forum too, where other members can share experiences and swap tips.

    I hope this helps,

    Wishing you the best,
