Chemotherapy can be very rough, but the targeted therapies developed in the past few years usually mean that it's less severe than it used to be. If they've sequenced your cancer they should have a more precise way to target it, meaning your exposure level to the chemicals should be less. It's impossible to promise anything - I'm not your specialist. Whatever the treatment is in May will probably be tailored more closely to your condition.
Do whatever you can to keep up your strength and your spirit. You love outdoor photography. Maybe you can take modest walks to places you like and spend some time there composing shots. If that's too far, then whatever is closest. You probably have a dietary guide for your condition. Since you cook, perhaps you could explore options that are compatible with it to find something that you like. And be sure to stay in contact with your friends. Having them around, even if only for company, can make things a little more bearable.
Good luck and endurance.

It looks like you're experimenting with expression. I don't recall any of your other models with the half-lidded look before. I like the effect, as it makes her seem to be focused more closely and intimately on the viewer. You may want to tweak the slighly parted lips, however, as it just shows off her lower teeth, giving her an underbite.
Focusing on your art is a good idea - and sharing it here lets us appreciate your work, so thanks, Vash98. I hope it helps keep your spirits up.

That's very good news about your prognosis. Catching it early really improves your chances. So that's a good point to concentrate on even when things get rough with your therapy.
Good luck with everything.

Take care of yourself while you're on your chemotherapy. Make sure to rest wen you can. I hope that it does the job, but isn't too rough on you.
Good luck all around.

The neuropathy and fatigue sound like the worst of your side effects. Do you still have to deal with a walk-in freezer, like on your last job? That level of pain should require accommodation, at least until the side effect subsides.
I guess the only way to deal with the fatigue is to pace yourself and rest when you can.
You have one more round of it next month?
