Re: Time Frame of Side Effects After First Chemo?
Ditto for me, Ginny, as like Tricia I had ACTH. That stuff pretty much hits you instantly, the AC I mean. When I had the taxol it was usually about 36-48 hours after the infusion that the nerve pain began. Take the pain meds around 36 hours and just stick with them for a few days. I had Aloxi, so I never had any nausea.
Good luck, Ginny. Chemo is a bit like child birth. When you wonder if you will be strong enough to endure it, you look around at all the people in the world and figure if all their moms got through it you will too. Chemo is the same. Look at all the folks who have had chemo and have survived the experience!
