I am 2/3 rd way through chemo before I have masectomy and radio but after each chemo session it gets harder to get back to my good days and I feel no one notices I live with my daughter my son is at uni and have no partner I don’t like to put on my daughtershe will get bits and bobs from the shop and cook the odd meal but I feel she does everything to stay away from me I sit most days on my own as I am so tired physically struggle to go out as i tire easily, am I expecting too much from her this makes me feel guilty for thinking like this or is this normal does everyone get like this
Sorry to hear you are feeling down but please know that it is normal to feel more tired and the chemo affects to last longer the more treatments you have as it is culmative. I managed to keep running until my 2nd chemo and then the good days got less in between each treatment but this is normal. You have to just be kind to yourself and allow yourself to just rest if that is how you feel. My final chemo was the hardest and took me a long time to feel normal again from that but don’t worry it is all just a means to an end and you can do it. Just look at the bigger picture and learn to take it easy! 
Don’t feel guilty about how you are feeling but I am sure you are wrong about how your daughter thinks! Have you had a chat and told her how you are feeling? Sometimes people don’t understand unless you explain

Hi MM thankyou for your advice. My daughter and I had a chat last night which helped greatly and we both have a better understanding of how we are both dealing with this and what each other needs to get through it. Hopefully I’ve only got 2 more chemo to go subject to my next mri which is on the 5th June which will make my last chemo 18th June so we are hoping to have a few days away in July before I have surgery. Thankyou again for replying xxx
