hope treatment is not too aggressive for you. I find in the spring you can take cuttings of young shoots and pot up in compost. or you can sow seed in February if you dont feel up to it in the autumn.

Hello Appleblossomgal, you can either split the plant in the Autumn or early next spring to make more, or leave the dead heads on, these will swell and form pods like peas. When they are dry, take out the dried seeds and sow in the autumn in pots.....ready to plant out next spring.
Good luck with your treatment, my husband is recovering from high dose chemo, and like you doing well...:0).
Take care.
