Chemo days can be quite long ones. It can wear you out easily as time goes on with the rad tx. Hang in there, ask questions and take the advice given. By keeping your intake of fluids as high as possible, it will enable you to avoid many problems. Even if you think you are doing ok, take the anti-nasuea meds. Once you fall behind and are sick, its too late to get ahead of it. Hope you get rest over the weekend for a fresh start on week number two.
