  more tired than usual. Your body is working hard
  to recover, so rest is crucial.

  the treated area. You might notice it becoming
  red, dry, or more sensitive. Gentle care and

  fatigue, especially as the sessions progress.
  Give yourself the rest you need during this time.

  chemotherapy may experience nausea or vomiting.
