Re: Chemo 1 Done!
As checkmark said, we are all different. But usually the effects peak around day 3-5 and we are feeling pretty good in time for the next go-round!
Just listen to your body in terms of sleep. Nap all you want! Eat small, easy to disgest foods. High protein things. Drink lots of water. Might something like Ginger Ale or 7-Up help the burping?
Your port is very new. Give it time to settle down. The area is still tender. Mine was annoying the entire time I had it, but that was because of the akward placement, not pain.
So, you are on the road to recovery! Keep the faith.
