Worried about chemo side effects and possible hair loss. Can someone help me through this?

Hi

I have now reached the chemo stage after my mastectomy.

I am due to start 16 weeks of  chemo every two weeks  very soon.

I am very anxious and upset about hair loss and the brutal side effects they tell you about!

Can anyone who has been through this help me please

    Hello:) I was diagnosed few weeks ago with cervical cancer, stage 3.

    And I'm still waiting for last test results. Doctor said it will be chemo and  radiotherapy. 

    So basically I will be in the same place that you are right now. I'm scared and terrified of the side effects of chemo. And in my surroundings I never had somebody who have fight with cancer, so I don't know how it "looks like" if that make sense. I tried to read in internet, forums what to expect or what can we do, to survive it But I think I'm even more lost than I was at the beginning.

    So if you want to chat with somebody who's in the same place you are I'm here.

    Sorry for my grammar, English is not my first language, but I'm trying my best:)
