I never had chemotherapy. I only had to have radiation. Thank God.

My wife is going through chemo therapy and is extremely exhausted all of the time. However the hospital has been very good giving us guidance through the process, Not easy at any time and is very difficult for all who have to experience this.

Hello everyone, how are you feeling today?
Starting chemo can feel like stepping into the unknown.
For many, it’s not just the physical side effects, it’s the emotional toll, the logistics, the way your daily life shifts in ways no one really prepares you for.
Looking back, what’s one thing you wish you knew before starting chemotherapy? Was there a tip that helped you cope? Or a truth that no one warned you about?
