Hi there

welcome to the forum and welcome to the world of chemo

i can only talk from my own experience and can relate to what your husband is going through

i had 30 sessions of Tomotherapy and 6 weekly 8 hour session of Cisplatin chemo every friday

i used to love my weekends as I would get pumped so full of steroids that I’d be on a great high but would then start to come down about Monday and Thursday ... we’ll i could not wait for Friday.

im not sure if it was the chemo or the Tomotherapy, but it drains you I would be up late in the morning, have a sleep in the afternoon for about 3 hours get up for 3 hours then back to bed at 11 and sleep all the way through until 9 the next day.

the chemo does give you constipation so take those laxatives....to many though and opps ... so it’s a juggling process and it changes every couple of days.

i hope I’ve helped ... yes it’s normal, well it was with me

lets us know how you both get on
