I don't think you will be weak,or have low energy,I felt okay after Radiation treatments. Sometimes I went Grocery Shopping after I got done,because the Radiation Place was near the stores.

Something you definitely need to talk to your doctor about. That being said, I have never had chemo and I still bruise easily. Just need to make sure it's not a symptom of something bigger than low platelets.

Bruising a month after finishing chemotherapy could still be related to lingering effects on your platelets or blood vessels, as chemotherapy can weaken them. It’s also possible that the arm was used for IV infusions, making it more sensitive. However, it’s important to inform your doctor to rule out any serious issues. For Show Full Answer

The bone aches, and joint pain from the white cell boosters is usually one of the easier side effects to get past. Since that med will no longer be stimulating your bone marrow, you should start feeling better soon! Hang in there!
