Dear Pepe
I have no first hand experience to go by, so will just say that you should call your chemo nurse and tell them what you are feeling.
I don't think the extra sleep is cause for concern, but would want you to check with the experts about heaviness and weakness in the legs.
Don't put it off. There may be something they can give you to make it all better or tell you that it will go away, but just in case it is some kind of reaction to the chemo they need to know.
Hugs my friend,

Please remind me which
Please remind me which chemo? When I was on folfox for 6 treatments, somewhere along the way I noticed being off balance frequently along with soooooo many other yucky side effects. Now that I'm on folfiri, I can definitely tell the oxy is somewhat wearing off.

sleep
I remember sleepng like 10 to 12 hours after chemo and the leg pain is the worse as I still have it. They say it will never go away.

Often
I often had poor balance and instability 1-3 days after being disconnected. As for sleep, I would often sleep more than 10 hours from Wednesday when treatment started until Monday of the next week (pump disconnect was always Friday).
Rest my friend. Your body knows what you need.

I've done 3 months of Folfiri, haven't had many side effects at all, but after this last one I am finding some fatigue, and some tenderness with my tongue.0 -
I really struggled with
I really struggled with chemo from about treatment 6 to treatment 12. I would say that the unsteadiness, lightheaded too when you get up, feel like you are going to faint or "black" out? Could be due to dehydration. I would encourage you to drink, drink, drink. And make that water, not wine!0
