Chemo wasn't fun but certainly tolerable - not painful, just de-energising with some side effects such as tingling fingers. The third week of each session (4 sessions) was free of pills and enabled my wife and I to get away for a few days somewhere and do some walking. The first week of each session was the most difficult - an infusion on day 1 followed by lots of pills - but bearable. I would do it again if necessary. I'm aged 78.
