It's tough, don't misunderstand, but it's not as bad as a lot of people make it out to be, and, it beats the alternative to not having treatment.

I agree with all that was said but would add...take it easy. Some people are able to walk every day during chemo. Some just want to sit. Try to do something.every day but do not feel discouraged if you just can't. And if food starts to taste weird, give it a day and try again. My tastes changed daily...never sure whatvwas going to taste good.0
