What did you do to heal your body after chemotherapy?

[Solly Mack]

8. I did what I could re: exercise, errands, etc.. A little more as time went by.

And when I needed to nap, I napped. No apologies.

Had to be hospitalized due to complications a month after chemo/radiation ended and was in the hospital a month. I'm not the ideal at all.

It took time and I let it take the time it needed. Even when I wanted to be getting better faster, I forced myself to slow down and accept where I was and understood I would get better.

Lots of vegetables because I love vegetables. Stopped eating red meat years before but would eat a hamburger when I could after I was out of the hospital. I had to relearn to eat, so I went from liquid to soft to almost normal now.

It was a year after treatment ended before I felt closer to the old me. Going into my fifth year soon and am now as close to the old me as I will get.

So glad your chemo is done and I wish you the very best. You know you better than anyone - do what you can when you can. Sleep (when you can) and rest is something you need so don't feel guilty about it. I'd sit in the floor and play with my dogs - that was exhausting but fun.

Could ask the doc about something to help you sleep. That helped me.

Keep us posted on how you're doing.
