Like Sue and others, I was fine the first few days following treatment but then it hit. I felt like this for 2 weeks and then the week I was due for my next chemo I would feel fine only to get another treatment that week, and then it started all over again. I don't mean to scare you but I did get worse with each treatment however, I made it through as will Sue and looking back, yes it was bad but it could have been so much worse. I was able to resume my active workouts again shortly after my last chemo and have continued to do so ever since. There is a light at the end of this tunnel but for now tell Sue to get all the rest she needs and if she feels lousy then to just allow herself to sleep, rest and stay hydrated. I never completely lost my appetite but I did lose a few pounds because I was just to fatigued and exhausted to eat as much as usual. Best of luck to Sue, she is so lucky to have you.
