My friend J is going into hospital tomorro to undergo her second round of chemo. 
I think she coped really well first time. She was very positive and her support network was really positive. She says she felt pretty well through it (and I have to say looked well). She did have an awful irritating rash all over her which was very itchy, I think due to antibiotics used to bring her temperature to normal and she lost her hair right at the end of  that round. As she enters into the next round I worry about how she is going to cope. As the treatment goes on and the more chemo she receives, is she likely to feel more sick and side affects from the drugs? Is it normal for her to feel as well as she says she was? Can anyone tell me what we should prepare for next?
I would be very grateful for your input and experience, patients and carers alike.
Take care and God Bless you all.
GAngel
