Usual I guess.

I lost my hair, it grew back.

Fatigue, yes. I still went to the gym, did the indoor bike, lifted weights, swam, played basketball. At times I would ride my bike outside 15-25 miles.

Some of my finger and toe nails turned black and blue.

That metallic taste, yeah. Wife would ask what I wanted in a meal. I would say politely whatever, it pretty much tastes the same.

The side effects were cumulative, fatigue hit hard on the 4th infusion. I remember because I struggled to play half court basketball instead of full court.

Still, the cycle was "normalized" infusion day plus the next two to three were "normal" given the anti-nausea drugs that were pre-infused.

Days 3-5 were a drag, the side effects were at their "peak." So, I would schedule infusions for Thursdays which usually enabled me by Monday to be "normal."

Days 7-21 were "normalized."

Then the cycle would start again.

I did work. I also travelled to Las. Vegas with my wife watch our daughter play in the Mountain West girls post season conference basketball tournament. We spent time out there visiting and hiking at Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam and Death Valley.

I did not experience neuropathy and after the 6th and final infusion, things returned to the way there were in 30-90 days.

My experience, albeit with a caution. I was very fit going in to it and continued working out while on treatment. That may have been a factor in my experience.

Oh yeah, when I felt the side effects, I would just take the damn nap!
