You can expect to lose your hair and feel nauseated.
Good Luck and Hope you get well soon.
Just a suggestion. While volunteering at the hospital a lot of cancer patients got their friends together and their friends all shaved their heads and had something like bald head contests and tried to make the chemo a hilarious expereince. To lighten up the mood.

If you have to ask here I would suggest your doctor isn't doing his/her job properly! Ask him/her or the hospital for all the information they've got for you to read. You should have been given all this information before making the decision to start chemo. It can be a very unpleasant experience and there ARE other alternatives.

Radio Talk show host Laura Ingraham had to undergo chemo this last year or two and she is doing just fine. It may be a worthy pursuit to look into her website for helpful thoughts. I have friends and my father go through chemo and yet, I find myself unable to help you. I wish the very best for you and I will pray for you.
