Does it keep getting harder?

last week I had my 2nd round of EC, although I have been very lucky not to get any sickness this time I just feel full of lethargy.  I can’t seem to find the energy or inclination to do much at all.  I didn’t feel like this with my first treatment.  Does get harder as each one passes?  I’m also sleeping terribly at night waking every 1 1/2 he with hot flushes, I did have this before staring chemo but this seems to be worse now. I know I can’t complain as I have been lucky so far but it does get you down from time to time.  Diane x

Unfortunately, the tiredness does get worse with each one - I didn’t believe my onc or nurse when they told me this, as I think I thought I was invincible :), so I’ve found dealing with this quite hard. Lack of sleep probably doesn’t help either. I’m due my 5th of 6 tomorrow, so in 3 weeks time, I’ll be having my last chemo… Hang in there xx
