Chemo side effects

My mom is 3 days out after her first chemo session. Her biggest complaint is that she’s so tired and weak and she doesn’t want to anything. How many days post infusion are the worst? She’s taking her nausea meds around the clock to prevent nausea when is the nausea risk low enough to not take them?

For me, I was out of commission for 5-7 days.  The first two days I was tired, and then my legs hurt so bad I could barely walk.

I didn't take the anti nausea meds unless I needed them, other than the morning of the infusion
