Started chemo for breast cancer yesterday - is anyone else having this?

I am confirmed breast cancer on December 2023, and start chemotherapy yesterday, I feel nervous and tired when completed treatment

  • Hi KCOK and welcome to the Cancer Chat forum.

    As you can see on our website, tiredness is a common side effect of chemo but I hope you've managed to get some rest and are feeling a bit better now.

    Hopefully some of our members who are having chemo as part of their breast cancer treatment will be along soon to offer their support and share their experiences and advice but if you have any questions or concerns, do feel free to give our team of cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to help.

    We're thinking of you KCOK and wishing you well with the rest of your treatment.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

  • Hi KCOK, hope you are feeling better now? I was diagnosed in October 23, I had an operation first in November, and just had my first treatment of AC yesterday. I was really tired and quite nauseous last night, but lots better today after the 'goody bag' of Anti-sickness. I wonder if this is the calm before the storm though.
