We surely are all different!
Christina, I am finding the discomfort no worse after the 3rd round. Perhaps a little less. Still having pain but maybe I am just more "used" to it. And I take pain relievers in the evening when it peaks. Alot of fatigue but that is from my low blood count I assume. I hope by tomorrow (6 days after chemo) I will be coming out on the other side.. That seems to be the pattern I am establishing. One "bad" week and then 2 okay before starting the cycle again....
Keep the faith....
