Hi Snufi,
Sending a lot of prayers and positive vibes your way!
Like everyone here is saying, you really will do fine.
The oncologiest have learnt how to manage the side effects very well. I had my first chemo in july 2007 and it was easier compared to what I had imagined. The only issue I had is the benedryl since it made me sleepy and sort of groggy. I would drive myself to chemo and back, so benedryl was a pain. I stopped taking it after a couple of treatments and after that chemo was much easier.
love,
shobha
