Does having chemotherapy for prostate cancer mean you constantly feel sick?

Does having chemotherapy for prostate cancer mean you constantly feel sick?

There is a vast difference in how patients feel on chemotherapy and often it is impacted by other medicines being taken.  Fatigue is the most common side effect of chemotherapy.  There are new medications available to help other possible side effects of chemo like nausea and vomiting. 

“For the first month or two, I continued to swim, though not as much as I had been. I assumed that if I stayed active it would help me through the chemo. I was never incapacitated in that sense. There were a few days where either I didn’t feel well or was really tired, so I didn’t go out and pound the pavement or anything.”
