    Hi Phebie,  I am on oral chemo tablets (Ribociclib) daily.  I havent had any major side effects yet.  This is only my second round.  As I take three daily for three weeks, then have a week off and then start again.  I suppose what chemo tablets you are on and I thin everyone reacts differently.  I had intravenous chemo 12 years ago and that was definately worse.  At least I havent lost my hair this time.  Wishing you well.  Let us know how you get on .  Lee x
