Hi Carole, 

You will get there no doubt.

i'm not the chemo one, it is my husband . He kept me 'fully informed' of every side effect

I am talking about it in the past tense, not because he has popped off, but because he has completed his chemo ! Thought i'd better clear that one up !
Anyway- he described it as the worst hangover her ever had(:- he's had many!
Day one &during= okay.

day 2= okay , just vaguely off colour/ tired. Getting more intense by evening.

day 3-7 Exhaustion, tingling, etc. Stopped steroid on day 4 , everything awful. Nausea appalling. BUT slowly but surley by  day 6 huge improvement.

7-13 near normal

day 14= Groundhog Day, do it all again .

He mentioned his horrendous nausea to his team after the first cycle and they twiddled with his meds and found a huge improvement, he also pretty much took them every day for 8 weeks/4cycles. Seemed to work for him.

See how you go, but there is usually something out there to make it bearable.

He was on the pretty nuclear FLOT which has a taxane and a metal......

He felt during those days 3-7, that he had been 'poisoned', which is of course what chemo is ......

Now he is back to himself completely just waiting surgery.

Good luck and stick with it.
