Finished Chemo on April 13. I start immunotherapy May 4th. My legs are feeling extremely fatigued and shortness of breath has increased. Wondering if this is the reult of the 4 cycles of chemo.
I always loved my nausea meds!

Ughhh , I will be on my second round second treatment Monday of round one I guess that’s what you call it. I’m new to all this stuff. I have what they told me is I will be doing 14 weeks of three cycles meaning I will have the chemo immunotherapy the first and second week the third week of the cycle I will have none then there in three weeks cycles so chemo immuno chemo immuno none if that makes sense. I guess that’s really what it’s called. I’m not really positive.. I was slightly nauseous but the nausea medicine they gave me really send me for a loop
Oh my, I am experiencing all that and more almost 3 years out! I have lymphedema in my legs and mid section, it is so discouraging. I gained 45lbs. In less than a month with all this.

Here's why fatigue and shortness of breath can linger or even worsen after chemo ends:
