Awww, Moremi, I am really sorry.
Yes I do know how hard this treatment likely is on you, my sister had rounds of chemo and radiation for cancer, and it was pretty bad. She was very sick, everyday.
Maybe your husband and you can sit down and have a talk with the kids. Assign some chores that they have to do, and a clear consequence if they do not. you are very sick right now, and it isn't too late for them too learn that family needs all members to work together. They are old enough that they can understand that you are pretty ill and need their help. Plus they gotta start somewhere right? When they move out no ones is gonna be doing this stuff for them.
I am guilty of not handing out enough responsibilities around the house to my kids too. I am a perfectionist and it's easier for me to do things myself, but it's not doing them any favors. I've been trying to give them more chores tho and it's been going ok. When I was a kid I had chores I had to do, and it didn't hurt me any.
I hope that you can get your meds back on track, and that the rest of your treatment doesn't go too badly. Hope you can start to feel better soon. Looking into supplements and stuff is probably a really good idea.
Hang in there! You will get through this one!
