the cause of weakness and loss of strength needs to be sought first. most common cause of weakness after chemotherapy is malnutrition due to lack of intake as nausea and lack of appetite can occur after chemotherapy. You said that you became very sick after chemotherapy. Your electrolytes must also had a tilt which can also cause weakness. You need to have good nutrition and if still weakness persists then you need to consult doctor
