Re: Surgery pending for sister.

I expected chemotherapy to be a lot harder than what it actually turned out to be. It wasn't easy, not my most favorite thing every, but not nearly as hard as I had expected it. My Dr. had my accompanying medicine down to a science and I did not have any problems with nausea. I also was lucky that I did not have any allergic reactions and overall tolerated both course of chemo well. The easiest was the adjuvant 1 year perception with minor side effects (runny nose etc.). Worst side effects were foggy brain and great, great fatigue. I listed to the advice that my Dr gave and rested as much as I needed to and did not try to push through fatigue and that helped. I was able to work throughout my chemo (though not sometimes not in full capacity due to "chemo-brain".).
