All I could see was the online patient literature. That will certainly be bringing out the big guns - which seems appropriate. But primary side effects are low white blood cells - so no ability to fight infections ( lay in a new Box of masks)., - low red blood cells - the anemia will leave you cold, exhausted, and weak. But all of that is bearable and can be somewhat mitigated. Will you be in the hospital while they administer or will you have help around?

I'll be receiving treatments as an outpatient. I have my husband, my mom, and really helpful neighbors for support. And my new palliative care team seems like they really care, so thats a plus.
