Chemo advice

Hi, started my chemo treatment last Thursday (every 3 weeks for 6 sessions). So far so good in terms of side effects. Worst thing so far was the constipation due to anti sickness drugs!

Just wondering if anyone could let me know if the side effects are likely to get worse with each chemo treatment. I know everyone's experiences will be  different but any general advice would be helpful.

Thank you x

    Hi, I have just had my 2nd session of chemo today, currently feeling a bit tired but, at the moment I feel OK. Keep your chin up, and keep smiling, there will be good and bad days ahead - but stay strong, and keep focused. I decided I was going back to work between the chemo sessions of every 3 weeks, and that has helped me enormously as its given me another focus x
