Try to stay hydrated, with part pedialyte missed with water rest and eat a balanced meal with protein,
Fatigue from chemotherapy is unfortunately a common expected side effect. His doctors are checking his blood counts to make sure he does not need a blood transfusion (low blood counts can cause fatigue too). We recommend that your son maintains good nutrition and allow him to rest (sleep more than usual) after chemotherapy.
