does anyone else find mornings really hard physically i was always a morning person but i know chemo takes it out of you but find it so hard to get motivated does anyone else feel like this and how do you deal with it ??thanks to all xxxx
oh yes!!! I did not get out of my bed until eleven this morning! I am still in my dressing gown. I think the whole cancer treatment, diagnosis etc. takes a terrible toll on our bodies.

I never was a morning person, i’m ok once i actually get up but getting out of bed is soooo hard. I think we just have to listen to our bodies & if they tell us to rest then that’s what we should do, that’s my excuse anyway,lol.
I am ok in the morning but start to droop late afternoon. I am going to bed quite early but am managing to sleep reasonably well.

Yes - the mornings are definitely more difficult - and I would usually be a morning person too. I’m on day 6 following first chemo. In the mornings it is hard to get out of bed, eat, drifting round feeling sorry for myself. Then in the afternoon everything suddenly gets brighter, easier, today I walked a stiff uphill mile to a physio appointment and it was fine. Why? Is it like you have to get rid of toxins that have been collecting all night??
I guess we have to note the patterns and adjust…
Best wishes,
thankyou ladies glad its not just me … hugs to all xxxx
I was never a morning person, but chemo has certainly made it’s stamp on my mornings now. I rarely am awake before 10am, regardless of what time I go to bed. It takes me till around 1 or 2pm to feel even slightly human, plus it takes an age for my painkillers to kick in.
Am currently day 5 after TAX3 and am feeling wretched. My last 2 TAX treatments, I’ve felt worse around day 13-16 after chemo… not sure if this is in line with everyone else? I suppose it’s different folks different strokes eh?
