Welcome ! I found that being prepared helped me a lot. I organized my schedule around treatment days, knowing I'd need a couple of days after each session to rest and recover. Keeping a journal of how I felt each day helped me track patterns and prepare for the tougher days. Also, setting up a cozy, comforting recovery space at home with all my essentials within reach.

there are ways to make it more bearable. listen to your body. Rest when you need to .Ginger tea was very helpful for nausea, and having a support system to talk to, even just online, makes a big difference

It can be a long process. Don't be afraid to contact the medical team if you feel differently from the way the doctors described would happen. Ask your doctors about what will happen next in the treatment plan. Think about receiving psychological help from the medical center if you are having problems with coping with the treatment.
