HOW DO PEOPLE FEEL AFTER SEVERAL HOURS CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENTS
Most people feel okay for several hours following chemotherapy treatments; they are able to eat, work, do errands, and so forth. Usually some reaction occurs four to six hours later; there are some people who experience little reaction until twenty-four or even forty-eight hours later. On the other hand, some people feel the worst twelve or twenty-four hours following treatment. You will have to see how you feel.
Expect that the first treatment will be a new experience both for you and also for those caring for you. If it goes well, the odds are good that the remaining treatments will, too. Your oncologist may decide to change or adjust the dosage or the anti-nausea medications depending on your reactions following treatment. You may or may not experience a variety of side effects; if you want to know what to expect, ask your oncologist or your chemo nurse to tell you about these. Realize that you personally may experience some, none, or all of the possible side effects. Realize, too, that each treatment cycle may be different.
