First Chemo Date Set for this Friday - does anyone have any tips/advice?

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?

  • I used to feel very tired after my chemo sessions and I would come home and get straight in bed.  The tiredness sometimes lasted a couple of days. The first couple of times I had chemo I got pains in my legs, but when I told my medical team  about it they put me on strong pain-killers which took care of the problem.  I would advise you to take a book or a couple of magazines with you.......it can get very boring waiting for the chemo to finish.  Good luck.
