Hello my wife had Triple Negative Breast Cancer she had Chemo treatmeant first then surgery. It was in the nodes so she had to do Radiation. 4 months later it came back in her nodes above the abdomen. She is now going through another round of Chemo which is Cisplatin. She is on her second treatment  and Day 3 she has done nothing but slept the entire day. She says she gets really hot but no fever now day 4 and it's more of the same she will just fall to sleep while just sitting there is this normal and if so how long does the sleeping last?

    chemo is rough...

    I dont know if it it matters what type.  I have known many people that have many types of chemo.  It it rough and it seems to build up.   Your body knows when it needs to rest.  I remember my doctor saying listen to your body, if you need to rest do so.  If you need to sleep do so.  Push the water, for cleansing of the toxins.  If you cant stand water, add a flavor or eat watermelon. 

    Keeping you both in my prayers,

    Hugs,

    Annie
