Did my 2nd round of TCH last Thursday. Had lots of problems with severe constipation this time. My system just went on strike and I was in really severe pain. Now I have swung the other way and can't seem to eat without spending a hour in the bathroom each time. Don't know if AC has this side effect, but compared to all the others it was the worst!
You may feel pretty good the first few days after your infusion. It tends to really hit home for me on days 3-8, so don't overdo, thinking you are going to sail through. I think the worst part is the Chemo-brain...the spacey feeling and the inability to concentrate or recall words. I know that this bothers me more because I am working and trying to maintain a level of work that is probably unrealistic in the long run :-)
Best of luck with your first treatment. Let us know how it goes.
