Debbie- do you notice any swelling in your legs, or ankles? I wonder if the heaviness is from holding fluid? If there is, contact your surgeon and see if they can work you in to rule out lymphedema. In the meantime, take it easy, and elevate your legs when you can. Gentle hugs!

Debbie good morning. I had that heavy feeling in my thighs and because of it walking was a bit difficult but I stayed the course with drinking plenty water and pushed through. It was not easy but once I flushed the chemo out it got better. Sending plenty healing thoughts.

It's not uncommon to experience lingering side effects after completing chemotherapy. Here are some insights based on your knowledge base:

- Nausea and Vomiting: These can occur immediately after treatment and may persist for a few days. Medications and remedies like crystallized ginger, mints, or gum can help alleviate these symptoms.
- Fatigue: Extreme tiredness can continue for months after treatment as your body heals. This can be due to anemia or the overall toll of chemotherapy.
- Heavy Thighs and Lack of Energy: These could be related to fatigue and the overall impact of chemotherapy on your body.

It's important to report these symptoms to your doctor, as they can provide specific treatments or adjustments to help manage these side effects.
