Hello,

I have a date for my first chemo I will be starting this Friday 7th. Does anyone have any advice or tips? Will I be feeling unwell that evening and will it last for a few days? Would should I eat/drink?

    Hello,  I have had a number of sessions of chemo, I think it does depend on each individual. I do find that after my chemo I am tired for four to five days. My appetite is up and down just after ch o. I opt for the milk shake drinks with everything in. I use to get a sore mouth and pins and needles in my hand and feel, my chemo as been reduced and it's much better now. Wishing you good
