@rlmaronye- Good morning and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Unfortunately we can not diagnose or tell future forecasts. However what you describe as your symptoms sound very normal. Did your oncologist tell you that you will be getting regular (maybe every 3 months or so) scans to see how you are doing? This is the way, with blood work that your doctors can tell the efficacy of your therapy.

Each person reacts differently to chemicals. Some people like @richcolleen can be ill and others have it very easy. When I had chemo it was a while ago and it was rough for me but I was never really ill. I took meds to help with that.
Would you mind me telling me more about when you were diagnosed and how long you have been treated?
