I didn’t lose my hair. Worst side effect was nausea - severe after first treatment, not as bad after my abti-nausea meds were adjusted. First few days after chemo I felt fine. Nausea set in around the 4th day and lasted about a week. Last week leading up to next chemo round I felt OK. Try ginger chews or strong cheddar cheese for terrible taste in the mouth. Also lemon drops. You may have to experiment to see what works for you. Some say dill pickles! Good luck. When do you start and what are they giving you?
