The Lesser Chemo Treatments

gloriajean — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 18:10:47 GMT

My daughter has been going for the lesser chemo treatments, to keep away the cancer, she's had 3 of them now, many more to go. So far, they are making her fatigued, She is tired alot. But no more pain.

They don't take long now, it takes a lot of time getting it prepared she says.

@gloriajean What are "lesser" chemo treatments? I've never heard of that term before. And prayers going out for your daughter!

It's official name is metronomic chemotherapy. Low dose chemo 20 to 30% for a longer period of time @shoesnbags .

My prayers are sent @gloriajean . Cancer is devestating. My husband has Stage 3 but I cannot image a young woman with 2 young children how draining this must be on her. It takes such a toll on a family.💕

Prayers for your daughter and family... all Chemo treatments are emotionally and physically challenging. Everyone who has to go through Chemo treatments are courageous. It's frightening and takes a toll no matter what level they are considered.

Thank you so much for your responses and support. And Trinity, thanks for explaining that chemo, better than I could ever. Sorry about your husband's cancer, I will pray for his healing.

Today I lost a sister, she was 97, and I will miss her. I have one more left, and she is 98.

@gloriajean --is this good news then? Even tho the treatments will go on for longer. But hurrah for no side effects-- except the fatigue---and that is just the normal way of all this---I still go thru periods of fatigue even after 13 years. Are they injected via a port? Wishing you all the best--give her a hug for me!!!

wagirl, thanks for your post, and at the first Darla was told she will need the radiation, and that's done, and nine months of that kind of chemo, every three weeks, not a port, but she gets it in her hand. So every 3 weeks she drives to a town about an hour away to get these injections for the nine months. She's had 3 now so far.

I will give her a hug from you.

@gloriajean I am glad to know your Daughter is doing well with chemo, fatique is normal for everyone who has chemo. She is lucky to have a strong, wonderful Mother that she can depend on... I will have you both in my prayers & eventually a full recovery.

I just finished 6 wks of chemo & daily radiation. I am older so I was very fatiqued from both treatments. I had my first immunotherapy last wk. I am grateful for no side effects. The women here are very supportive & kindhearted so do not hesitate to post.

@Kabella ----just wanted to congratulate you on finishing up your treatments!!! BRAVO 👍🏼🎉😀---I went thru breast cancer in 2012--had surgery, 5 months of chemo and then 33 days of radiation. Was declared cured by my oncologist in 2021 and am doing well . Still have some lingering side effects, fatigue is one of them. But all in all---I am alive and kicking!! Best wishes to you.
