    Hi you are strong and you can get through this,with chemo you loose your appetite and you also feel tired with it,your body is going through a lot with chemo,you need to listen to your body if you feel tired rest with your feet up and watch tv,I've had a year with chemo and still going through it,I'm always laying on the sofa I feel exhausted,so stay strong and you will get through it all.
