Female
Describes her feelings of restlessness because of chemotherapy.

 



You don't know what to do with your body. It's as if you're not there. I didn't know whether to go and lay on the bed, I used to go and lay on the bed. I lay on the bed and I had to get up. I'd go and sit down and I couldn't sit down. I'd walk around.

And you just don't know what to do for 2 or 3 days.

And I'm not the only one that has said that, I've heard it from somebody else that they felt the same. But after a couple of days that wears off and you're sort of back to normal again.
