It's completely normal to feel tired, especially after such a long day of treatments combined with work. If you experience any severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, confusion, or signs of infection, contact your healthcare team right away. They can help determine if any side effects need immediate attention.

Remember to give yourself time to rest and recover after treatment days. Consider scheduling future treatments on days when you don't have work commitments if possible.
