I never got to the point of passing out -- but I always felt like I was walking in my sleep on A/C. Yes it is normal to feel like Sh*t. Low red counts will make you feel out of breath and too tired to walk from the sofa to the coffee table.
I think it's good that you are calling your oncologist for feedback. I was on the phone a lot to my oncologist's nurse during A/C. I remember telling her "I don't think I can do this any more." She said "We'll get you through." And I did get through chemo. So will you. You really will get through this.
As we say, chemo is no walk in the park. Referring to side effects, a survivor friend of mine describes chemo as "the gift that keeps on giving."
Take care and please don't expect too much of yourself. If there is ever a time to be very very very good to yourself, this is it.
