Hi MariaGirl

I think everyone has covered the possible side effects.
I agree with Bonnie, the anticipation of your first treatment
can be the worst part of it. You will be proud of yourself for
getting through the first one and will be prepared for the
rest of them. Chemo teaches us how strong we really are.
Good luck tomorrow. I am glad you will be getting that first
treatment done with. I know you will be fine!
