Hi Angie, each person's side effects will be different, just as every cancer is different. I would say that the most common side effects are fatigue and brain fog. Other common side effects are nausea and bowel issues either loose bowels or constipation, peripheral neuropathy can be a challenge. The good news is that there is medication to help with all of these. With my chemo I have steroids which make it a rather hard to sleep. Try not to be too anxious you will soon work out how your body is responding and then you can get on top of targetting the help that you need. Listen to your body and dont try to push yourself too hard. Your oncology team will really help you to navigate this and the macmillan telephone is a graet tool to chat through with someone who can provide a listening and experienced ear. Regards Richard
My partner has just had his 2nd round of FLOT so brain fog, awful tiredness, some neuropathy, nausea..by day 10 of 1st round he felt really ok. We will see about this 2nd lot.
Tune in to your body, don't fight too hard, give in and rest when you need to and drink plenty of fluids...best of luck xx
