My husband had his first chemotherapy infusion 8 days ago. He has spent the majority of each day, since day 3, lying in bed. Additionally, he is not eating and generally not feeling good. He had blood work done yesterday and white blood cell count was low. The nurses in chemo said tiredness was expected, but his side effects seem extreme. Is this a common experience from others who have had this treatment? Treatments are scheduled 1/3 weeks for 9 weeks initially but he says he doesn't want to have another one.
