Experience after Folfirinox

Male 34, stage 3, post Whipple(May 2023), started to show in scans by July 2023, currently 5 of 12 rounds of Folfirinox complete..

I know everybody is different and maybe I am stupid for even thinking this..I am just wondering, for those who did Whipple and Folfirinox and managed to come through it, what was your energy levels like post-chemo? Physically and mentally?

Reason being, If I get the all clear and manage to kick this sh*ts ass, I am strongly thinking of returning to full time eduction to get a College Degree. It would consist of Monday-Friday in lectures and labs(and extra study time no doubt) and working Saturday&Sunday for 4 years, picking up extra shifts during the holidays from College.. A LOT of energy will be used I know that. But if I can win this battle with Pan-Can, then I can get a college degree(it's a personal thing)

I have seen reports of people being drained for months/years after their chemo. And I know everybody is different. I am just looking for insight into how people were after treatment.

Once again, I have huge love and respect for everybody dealing with this illness, either as the patient or family/friends.. Stay strong, stay positive.. Do not give in... Do not let this f**ker win.. Fight! Do not give in! ❤️
