Hi @kayanonsen, those sound like particularly rough side effects. I thought I’d check in to see if some of the symptoms have lessened. Did you learn anything helpful from your virtual appointment earlier this week?

Hi, thank you for asking, and yes they have lessened. Lasted about 11 days, and now I have some gut problems and fatigue, but much much better. Oncologist just said that everyone is different so its hard to predict, but nothing was alarming or surprising. Next treatment is this friday the 5th and she said maybe your first was the worst. Oh my hair started falling out a couple of days ago. I think I'll get a wig for occasions when I need to look like I don't have cancer. I wish I could go through this without any other responsibiliies. I wish I could stay in bed and get up to move around or get a glass of water. I wish someone could come in and check on me during the bad days and provide help/care where I need it. It would be a lot easier. I don't think I would have gotten as sick as I did if I had been able to rest. But that's life and life is still preferable. 🙂
