wrmeador, chemo for my EGFR cancer was very different from what friends with lymphoma and breast cancer have had. It’s apparently the combination of chemicals that matters. I didn’t lose any hair. Worst side effects were nausea - which was pretty well managed with anti-nausea meds including steroids - and a terrible taste in my mouth - ginger chews and lemon drops plus some fatigue. First few days after infusion were OK. Days 4-9 were the worst. Hang in there.
