Judy, while I'm hardly any kind of expert, my guess is that the stress you're under (even if it is of a positive nature), is exacerbating fairly normal effects of chemotherapy. Stress hormones can wreck havoc on a recovering body.

Because it wouldn't cause you any harm, I'd suggest that (in addition to letting your oncologist know), you make a point of focusing on yourself for a while. Any kind of relaxation activity such as message, visualization, meditation or a stroll through an especially pleasant environment (a woods, garden, whatever kind you most enjoy) would probably be very useful for you right now.

Hope you feel better soon!
