Hello Joe

Hope all goes well for your first treatment

I think fatigue is a very common side effect as are bowel issues in the first week after your treatment - I had both but got used to the routine after a couple of cycles

I didn’t suffer with nausea but was given medication to have ready in case I did . In fact they advised me to take it the first couple of sessions to get ahead of any sickness but I soon realised I didn’t need it

I’m sure you will find the chemo nurses are reassuring and very kind which helps a lot !
